Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) \u2014\u00a0this week even as the Judiciary Committee chairman remains far from the 217 votes needed to win the gavel on the House floor.<\/p>\n<p>Jordan clinched the nomination for Speaker in a 124-81 vote on Friday, beating his last-minute challenger, Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.). But when the conference was asked if they would support Jordan\u2019s nomination on the floor, the vote was 152-55 \u2014\u00a0leaving Jordan well short of the 217 votes needed to win the Speakership on the House floor.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The planned vote on Tuesday is setting the stage for another public clash over the gavel, similar to the four-day, 15-ballot election that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) went through in January.<\/p>\n<p>Some Jordan backers are hoping that bringing his nomination to the floor \u2014 and forcing Republicans on the record \u2014 will increase the Ohio Republican\u2019s support and put him within reach of the gavel. Jordan will be up against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who Democrats unanimously nominated to be Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, all Senators will receive a briefing on the situation in Israel and Gaza, after Hamas launched an attack on Israel earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>House GOP eyes Tuesday floor vote on Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The office of House Majority Whip advised members on Sunday that the first floor votes of the week are expected at noon on Tuesday \u2014\u00a0even though Jordan last week fell short of the 217 votes needed to win the Speakership on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Some Republicans had aimed to ensure that the conference had enough support behind their Speaker nominee before a floor vote in order to avoid another public, drawn-out floor fight like McCarthy, now ousted from the post, endured in January.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>But the conference rejected internal proposals to require 217 votes for nomination, and it last week saw its first Speaker nominee, Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), drop out a day after getting the nomination when it was clear that holdouts would not give him the support he needed to win on the House floor.<\/p>\n<p>Now, hardline GOP supporters of Jordan say the House should move on to a floor vote without delay \u2014 and some have been urging voters to call their Congressmen to support Jordan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) said on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d that while he is supporting Jordan, the \u201chigh-pressure campaign\u201d is the \u201cdumbest way\u201d to get people to support Jordan.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cAnd as somebody who wants Jim Jordan, the dumbest thing you can do is to continue pissing off those people and entrench them,\u201d Crenshaw said.<\/p>\n<p>There is some bad blood and hurt feelings in the GOP conference over Scalise not getting swift universal support last week. Rep. Mario D\u00edaz-Balart (R-Fla.), who had been whipping votes for Scalise, pointed to Jordan\u2019s hardline conservative allies withholding support for Scalise despite Jordan\u2019s public endorsement last week as a reason to not support him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t get your own people to follow you, on a very simple thing like this, then I think you have an issue of leadership,\u201d D\u00edaz-Balart said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/live-updates\/2023\/10\/15\/congress\/jordan-gets-a-challenger-00121640\">Politico<\/a>\u00a0reported Sunday night that a group of House Republicans who do not support Jordan are vowing to have a challenger up against the Judiciary Committee chairman on Tuesday, which they say will deny Jordan the gavel.<\/p>\n<p>The House GOP conference is scheduled to meet behind closed doors at 6:30 p.m. on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of Jordan are aware of the reality that the Ohio Republican, as things currently stand, does not have the votes to win the gavel on the House floor. But they are hopeful that work over the weekend will help get him to the subsequent 217 votes needed.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>McCarthy told Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>\u2019s \u201cSunday Morning Futures\u201d that Jordan has been speaking with holdouts to try and get them on board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we walked away, he did not,\u201d McCarhy said when asked if Jordan had the votes Sunday morning. \u201cBut that\u2019s why we have time, walking away this weekend.
