House Republicans are currently deadlocked over the next Speaker of the House, with eight RINOs refusing to endorse Jim Jordan. Their apparent aim may be to reinstate Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.
The election for the Speaker’s position is slated for Tuesday at noon.
As of Monday evening, eight RINOs are still holding out and refusing to support Chairman Jordan: Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE), Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Frank Lucas (R-OK), John Rutherford (R-FL), Mike Simpson (R-ID), Steve Womack (R-AR), and Ken Buck (R-CO).
Yesterday, Maureen Bannon posted an update listing the ten congressmen who, as of 1:18 pm ET on Monday, were not in favor of voting for Jordan. Reps. Vern Buchanan and Tom Cole have shifted their stance to join the GOP and endorse Jim Jordan. In response, another user named Liberty Patriot provided the contact information for each of these congressmen in a comment below Bannon’s post.

Donald Trump won Nebraska by nearly 20 points in 2020 and Trump has endorsed Jim Jordan.
