There were over 20 holdouts preventing Rep Jim Jordan from becoming the new Speaker of the House. These people are RINOs who prefer Democrats over Republicans and they need to be removed from Congress because they are not good for anybody, not even themselves. They were able to stop Jordan on Tuesday and the next vote will be on Wednesday morning. They very well could stop him on Wednesday, but now it will come at a cost.
Conservative donors are now saying they will withhold their money from anyone who does not vote for Jim Jordan. Worse still is the fact that they will hand over their money to candidates who primary these RINOs. Not to mention the fact that their voters will jump ship. You can’t continually side with the Democrats before the voters figure you out and force you from your cushy job and your Democratic friends will not lift a hand to save you.
Michaelon Wright Olson, who served on the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) board of trustees and is a big donor to the GOP, told the Caller Monday evening:
“Our nation needs a fighter who will stand up for the interests of American citizens, whether Democrat, Republican or Independent. Jim Jordan is a proven commodity we can trust.”
Here Are The Eleven GOP Members Who Have Not Committed To Voting For Jordan As Of Monday Night:
- Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon
- Florida Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart
- Florida Rep. Carlos Gimenez
- Virginia Rep. Jen Kiggans
- New York Rep. Mike Lawler
- Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas
- Florida Rep. John Rutherford
- Idaho Rep. Mike Simpson
- Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz
- Arkansas Rep. Steve Womack
- Colorado Rep. Ken Buck
Maria Zack, the founder of Nations in Action, told the Caller:
“Donors are extremely frustrated and will withhold funding for the NRCC if Jim Jordan does not become speaker. Donors are extremely frustrated with Congressional leadership for reckless spending, failure to be fully transparent on all actions and inability to prioritize on basics, including securing our country.”
Kevin McCarthy said:
“It’s one thing to get elected. It’s another thing to govern. It’s time to get the House out of this tailspin, come together and get America back on the right track. Jim Jordan can do it.”
