#WompWomp 😂🎻“The Republican conference on Friday voted to no longer back House Judiciary Chair #JimJordan (R-Ohio) as Speaker.The move came hours after Jordan’s third failed ballot on the House floor. He had lost GOP support with each successive vote.”https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4264545-house-gop-not-backing-jim-jordan-speaker/

2/ Yet he was 86’d. How ironic. Via Kyle Griffin:The vote total was 112 against Jordan remaining the Speaker designate, just 86 in favor of him remaining.

3/ Via @emptywheel: Since Fani Willis responded, for a second time, to Jim Jordan's attempt to obstruct her prosecution of Trump and his co-conspirators on October 11, Jordan has lost 3 votes to be Speaker and Willis has flipped 2 Trump lawyers.

@GottaLaff feels very much like Jordan setting the crazy bar high enough that regular crazy looks palatable. I know nothing of Bergman, which follows what I'm feeling.Any random pick isn't the 'solution' but maybe it gets the can towards a budget deal?Sigh
