CNN —Republicans’ long public nightmare came to an end this past week when Louisiana’s Mike Johnson became the 56th speaker of the House.
Their votes were outside the mainstream among all House members but not within the House Republican Conference.
In other words, 37% of House Republicans are more conservative than the new speaker.
That puts Johnson right in the middle third of today’s House Republican Conference.
Unlike Johnson, Jordan really is out of the mainstream not just within Congress overall but the House Republican Conference, as well.
