Deep dives
Jim Jordan's defeat in the speaker race is not surprising given his history of ineffectiveness and extremism
Jim Jordan's failure to secure the speakership is a fitting consequence of his lack of legislative success and radical positions. His attempts to downplay his extreme beliefs during the race were unsuccessful, with a majority of Republicans voting against him in the three rounds of voting. Jordan's resistance to compromise and his confrontational style have cemented his reputation as a divisive figure. While he may continue his attention-seeking tactics, it is clear that the majority of his colleagues do not see him as an effective leader.
