These are the House Republicans who voted against Jordan:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska voted for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy<\/li>\n
  2. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon voted for McCarthy<\/li>\n
  3. Rep. Anthony D\u2019Esposito of New York voted for former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York<\/li>\n
  4. …<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    There’s actually no listing of who voted for Jordan.<\/p>\n

    That’s interesting, because if voters want to find out who their Rep voted for, they’ll have to dig further if they insist on being sure.<\/p>\n

    I think this omission is more interesting than perhaps most might. Guilt by association, well, it must make some of these Reps a bit ill. And, no, I don’t care if Erick Erickson thinks Jordan is a “good man.”<\/a> I just don’t. Jordan’s been a clown in Congress, unable to pass any legislation, and even managed to earn former Speaker Boehner’s (R-OH) contempt; I shudder to think what’ll happen if Jordan wins.<\/p>\n

    For those not keeping up with the governmental news, he lost again on his second try today, and, in fact, lost ground. Are they picking their ext sacrificial goat?<\/p>\n

    Or will the few moderate Republicans, probably those from New York, turn to the Democrats for help?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
