Gym Jordan Uses Mob Tactics To Become Speaker

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?

1. Election certified by new Congress

2020 Congress sworn in on January 3rd, 2021 and certification was Jan 6. Keep in mind they’ve changed the law concerning certification to make it harder to obstruct.

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.

4. Jordan's goal is to get Trump back into the White House.

He cannot accomplish that without the support of the Republican Party. Trump is toast if the Republican Party deserts him.

MY suspicion is that if Jordan wins this will be in play.

6. The Electoral College certification occurs after the new congress is sworn in on Jan 3 2025

Odds are that Dems will retake the majority in the House, so Jordan wouldn’t be speaker.

If he was still speaker however, he would definitely throw up every roadblock imaginable to thwart certification of Biden.
