GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden quietly left Washington, DC on Thursday to go to Israel. Van Orden has been a supporter of Rep. Jim Jordan's speakership bid. AdvertisementAdvertisementA Republican congressman who has supported Rep. Jim Jordan's run for speaker quietly left the US on Thursday to travel to Israel, complicating Jordan's bid to lead the chamber. Van Orden alluded to the inner turmoil in the lower chamber in his statement to the Sentinel. The lawmaker from Wisconsin's absence makes Jordan's speakership even more unlikely than it already was.

Marjorie Taylor Greene sent $2,000 checks to 18 of her colleagues' campaigns in March. But spokespeople for two of those vulnerable Republicans — Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin and Rep. Michelle Steel of California — now say that their campaigns didn't end up cashing the checks. Though the March 29 contributions appear in Greene's campaign filings with the Federal Election Commission, they never appeared in Van Orden or Steel's filings. Greene's campaign, which did not respond to Insider's request for comment, has not amended its filings with the Federal Election Commission to reflect that the checks were never cashed. Van Orden represents a swing district, and Democrats are eager to tie more vulnerable Republican candidates to the party's electorally toxic far right.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Democratic legislator from central Wisconsin announced Tuesday that she is running for U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden's seat next year. State Rep. Katrina Shankland, of Sevens Point, joined a crowded field of Democratic challengers in western Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District. Van Orden, a former Navy SEAL, narrowly defeated Democratic state Sen. Brad Pfaff to flip the seat for the GOP last year after longtime Democratic incumbent Ron Kind chose not to seek reelection. Pfaff has decided not to challenge Van Orden in 2024. Van Orden was outside of the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection, before he was elected to Congress.

GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden cursed at and berated a group of teenage Senate pages for lying down in the Capitol Rotunda on Wednesday. Both Senate Minority Leader and the Senate Majority Leader admonished Van Orden for his conduct. You are defiling the space you [pieces of shit]," Van Orden reportedly told the pages late Wednesday evening, according to The Hill. It doesn't appear that Van Orden checked with his colleagues before making such a statement. After hearing about Van Orden's actions toward the Senate pages, Schumer tore into the congressman.

The rightward shift held true even in races where a Republican candidate attended the Jan. 6 rally. "But are you going to work with law enforcement, are you going to support law enforcement?" A union's backing also helps remove the stigma around a candidate's presence at the Jan. 6 rally, experts said. Van Orden has denied entering the grounds and said he left when the protest became a mob. Windorff, the Wisconsin police union president, said there was no evidence Van Orden had done anything wrong.
