CNN —Republican Rep. Jim Jordan is pressing ahead with his speaker bid despite facing stiff opposition from within his own party and no clear path to win the gavel. In a news conference Friday morning, Jordan made it clear he has no plans to abandon his bid. We can’t open the House until we get a speaker,” Jordan said. Some Republicans who oppose Jordan have decried what they described as a pressure campaign against them by allies of the Ohio Republican. There was also an emotional discussion over the threats some Jordan holdouts are facing.

The anonymous text messages warned her husband – who has been a vocal holdout against Jordan – to back the Ohio Republican. Jordan on Wednesday condemned the death threats, saying “it’s just wrong.”“It should never happen,” Jordan said as he left his office Wednesday night. Womack derided what he called the “attack, attack, attack” tactics of Jordan allies against his Republican opponents. “Frankly, just based on what I’ve been through – I can only speak to myself and what my staff has been through over the last 24 or 48 hours – it is obvious what the strategy has been: Attack, attack, attack. There have also been pro-Jordan robocalls targeting voters in Rep. Carlos Gimenez’s district as well as other members’ district, according to the Florida Republican’s office.

CNN —The US House of Representatives is bracing for a key vote Tuesday over Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s political future as GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida pushes for his ouster. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy speaks with reporters at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, October 3, 2023. No House speaker has ever been ousted through the passage of a resolution to remove them. If a procedural vote fails, then there would be a vote directly on whether to remove McCarthy as speaker, which would take only a majority to succeed. Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesTo force a vote, a member must go to the House floor and announce their intent to offer the resolution to remove the speaker – as Gaetz did.
