Ohio Representative Jim Jordan, known for his hardline conservative stance, is closing in on his bid to become the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. Despite facing opposition from within his own party and the emergence of a mystery challenger, Jordan has managed to win over several key opponents. His campaign has gained momentum ahead of the crucial vote scheduled for Tuesday, where he will need the support of 217 out of 221 House Republicans. The situation has been further complicated by the failure of Majority Leader Steve Scalise to unify Republicans. Jordan's potential election could cement the far right's influence within the Republican Party, leading to conflicts with Democrats over the size and scope of government. This comes as the House has been without a full-time speaker, leading to a leaderless situation and a series of public votes.
