Eko Hot Blog reports that Jordan, one of the most conservative members of the Republican caucus, asked his colleagues to “rally around” McCarthy ahead of a second-round vote.
Shortly after Jordan sat down, one of the Republicans rebelling against McCarthy stood up to propose an alternative.
“Maybe the right person for the job of speaker of the House isn’t someone who wants it so bad,” said Representative Matt Gaetz before nominating Jordan for speaker.
This put Jordan in an awkward spot; he’s publicly backing McCarthy and is now a potential alternative.
