Any Magat who votes against Jordan for Speaker will be attacked on prime time by Sean Hannity.
So, it is looking more and more like Jordan may strong arm the votes.
I have questions;
1. Will Jordan shut down the government?
2. Will Jordan appropriate money for Ukraine?
3. After Joe Biden wins the election will Jordan certify the election?

(19,008 posts)but here's my belief.
1. Of course he'll shut down the government.
2. Nope. He won't. And the government will be shut down until after the election if he gets his way.
3. No, he won't certify the election. Not a chance.

(21,193 posts)Odds are that Dems will retake the majority in the House, so Jordan wouldnt be speaker.
If he was still speaker however, he would definitely throw up every roadblock imaginable to thwart certification of Biden.
