House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan began his bid for House speaker on Tuesday, hoping to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy , who was ousted in an unprecedented vote this week.
Jordan referred to the bipartisan bill introduced by Sens. James Lankford and Maggie Hassan , the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act, requiring all members of Congress to continue working if appropriations are not passed on time. If funds do run out, an automatic continuing resolution would be enacted on rolling 14-day periods.
“Any differences that exist in the Republican Party pale, pale in comparison to the differences between us and the radical Left, which now unfortunately controls the Democrat Party,” Jordan said. “We had better stick together. We had better come together to fight for the things that make our country the greatest nation ever and the things the American people elected us to do again.”
“If the conference wants that rule changed — if I'm speaker, I'm not going to go to Democrats and get that done, no way,” Jordan said. “We will have to decide as 222 Republicans.”Jordan said the first piece of legislation he would focus on would be an immigration bill. “I've been clear all along. Why should we be sending American tax dollars to Ukraine when we don't even know what the goal is?” Jordan said. “No one can tell me what the objective is.
“They sure will,” Jordan said when asked if the investigation into the Biden family will advance if he’s elected speaker. “We've been working with the speaker's office all along. Many times, you have to consult House counsel when you're doing all these depositions, all these subpoenas that get sent out. So, we've had that already happen.”
