“The House Speaker race continues after Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA.) withdrew and Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA.) emerged to challenge Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH.). Henrietta Treyz, Veda Partners Managing Partner and Director of Economic Policy Research, belives it will be difficult for Jordan to rally sufficient bipartisan support to secure the House Speakership.
With the Speaker race unsettled, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) is tasked with overseeing the vote as Speaker Pro Tempore. However, pressing global issues are arising, from Israel-Hamas tensions to Ukraine aid, requiring legislative action. Given the uncertainty around the Speaker vote, Treyz suggests current Pro Tempore McHenry becoming Speaker may be the “”path of least resistance.”” “”Remember these are the players of the game, these congressmen, but they’re also the referees,”” Treyz tells Yahoo Finance, adding: “”So when they need to change the rules they do.””

#jimjordan #gop #yahoofinance
God have mercy?!!!
I hope you get the speaker job Jim !!!, 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
😂. Traitor. How dare you fly the US flag
@jeremims”I don’t agree with you, therefore you are a traitor”
@sailorvenus4471 nice twist on reality. Attempting to overturn an election *is* treason. Supporting those that do is also treason
We are going to have another Newt Gingrich whose only goal will be to attack democrats as much as noisy he can be, guaranteed!
No more ais to Ukraine
And Biden does not need to give you any more Aid or help either
Go Jim!!
Gym Jordan? 😂😂,🙄🙄🙄
Yes we want Jim Jorden 🙏🙏🙏👍🙏😇😇😇😇😇👏👏👏👏👏
Another one of Trumps traitors
Must not want him too much if you don’t even know how to spell his name.
Bravo it is a good idea but his unsupported friends (12 persons) in the Capitol went to house even Patrick Mchenry agrees to close the Capitol. They need to remake another plan to against Rep Jim Jordan instead of working hard for America. Oh! My God! They are so close because of Kevin McCathy’s money supporting for them. Wake up Americans we must support Rep Jim Jordan
LooHooSerrher…!
Him or trump
if the GOP can’t get enough votes can’t they just storm the capital and try to force someone unelected into power like they’ve attempted in the past? /satire (Cause the GOP is anti-American and the party of treason, get it)
You too don’t say stupid things. Buzz off. It’s not your party.
JIM PLEASE GET IT DONE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Was tha an order from putin being conveyed in all caps?
Lol we’re at war with Iran I guess
Anyone except Jordan.
Jim Jordan asks the best questions of a I’ve heard, wish I could vote for speaker
Russians are not allowed to vote
👍👍👍👍👍
The people want Jim Jordan.
I’m a person and I can’t stand him.
You only speak for yourself. The House is already dysfunctional, and I think Jordan will only create more chaos and obstruction if he becomes Speaker. He is not a team player or a good communicator, both of which are required to be an effective House Speaker.
no they dont
Funding for Maui?
It was done intentionally so the rich could buy up the land for cheap and then have buildings funded by tax payers built on it. No funding will happen.
We need a tyrant, Jim Jordan is the man we need ,I wish the public could vote to support him.
Jim Jordannor Preaident Donald Trump. Period. No other choice.
We do not need a House Speaker. We are all better off without any legislation passing congress.
You have no idea what what you’re talking about.
No more money for Ukraine
No money at all for Israel and Ukraine As Americans need it first and it is our money
Our ‘peace dividend’ money!!!
With Jim Gym govt will be shut down. No money for govt employees either..
@Elaine Kay :
Congress will still get a paycheck!!!!
@Johnson And with a raise!
Sad day for America and a sad day for the world, so unqualified and ridiculous
You must be a fan of Hunter Biden.
Gym Jordan failed to hang Mike Pence, now he will try to hang Jack Smith. Trump is his God. 😂
Good for him. How about you? What did you do for America?
@Thanh Drummer pay taxes obey the law and vote against crooks, racists and traitors. 😜
Honestly just pick Kayleigh McEnany so she can shut up democrat talking points on the spot with actual facts.
Kayleigh McEnany is one of the most fact free persons on the planet. Besides, she’s not likely to give up her high paying gig lying for Fox to take on a government job.
You people talking about insurrection stop it. You’re like a recording just saying what’s you’ve heard from Pelosi.
Jordan is an insurrectionist traitor. He should be in federal prison!
Never, Ever Jordan! He is the worst!
Lot of Russians in here
I am so happy for him.
Feel bad for all those now not going to get paid, Def govt shut down
I’m not happy.Jordan has never done one thing to make anyone’s life better. If you like that he makes life miserable for “others” then …
@Larry RobinsonRight ✅️ Gym Jordan has never done any things for America people, instead he is a traitor on Jan6.
I hope sarcasm is a free service you offer
McCarthy and scalise will enjoy watching backstabber gym jordan squirm to beg for the 217 and fail.
The question isL Who didn’t know it was going to be Jim Jordan?
Jim I have seen you in action you are a fighter for America.
Congressman Alston Scott is a must. Never ever Jim Jordan! J. Jordan is the worse!!
Donald Trump didn’t make people stupid or bigoted. They’ve been stupid and bigoted for a long time, Trump just convinced them it was something to brag about. The problem is not the fool, it’s the supporters of the fool; almost half of the registered voters in the country.
Boohoo
Stay in Paris because they know how to run a better society right 😂
Considering Henrietta got it wrong in relation to Jim Jordans nomination, should the people investing in her company be worried, i mean she was load, speaking with conviction and a few hours later we realise that was an empty vessel .
How can i take anything she said on the economy seriously if ahe could not see that Jordan would get over the required votes?
Same with Maria sunday morning nonesense, shouting of the state of American debt in the begging of her show and by the end of the same show she is cursing at congress men for not sending money to Ukraine, women!
Oh the Winning ! 😖It hurts 😫 I can’t take all the Winning 🤪🤘🔥
Do you mean whining
Speaker pro tempore is b.s.
Rhinos please don’t apply.
Jim Jordan should be the last person as speaker. He is loud and obnoxious! Not to mention he stands for little besides trying to bully himself through.
What happens next? Vote blue down the line in 2024.
He’s going to fight hard for the American people who probably notice 1 of the greatest speakers that ever lived He’s honest he loves America and he’s a hard worker
💩🤡🤮
Saying Jim Jordan works hard is like saying Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t eat people.
While he ignores all the child sexual abuses happening around him
Hooray for the new Grand Dragon.
Gym Jordan!? God help us all.
Gov’t workers now will be out of a paycheck. He will shut the govt down
No fn way will he be in there none
Jordan or Trump 4 SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE !!!
CREEPER OF THE HOUSE !!!
It was a nice country while it lasted.
Go jim Jordan
It’s like they took the least productive guy in the factory and promoted him to CEO…..
The only thing Jordan can run is his big mouth ! Get real ….
0% chance he gets the votes to become speaker. Nada.
NO WAY FOR JORDAN
VThis needs to Stop
The speaker is basically the Prime Minister
Not Jockitch Jordan, NO!
Jim jordan as house speaker would be phenomenal.
How so?
Phenomenally stupid, yes!
A phenomenal mistake
jim going to get the vote easier watch and learn
We only need FIVE republicans to put country over party. Hakeem Jeffries is good for 212 solid non circus votes all day long!
Jim Jorden is the only rational choice for speaker, wake up Republicans.
Trolls are drinking way too much coolaid.
The truth is ning comes toe floor except the seaker allow it.
Jeffris i the worst f the worst.
how about just burn it down. None of these RNC want to govern, nor CAN they. Just the thought of working with Dems is a non starter. So let em ruin it all. Then THEY too can be jobless.
The ONLY positive for Jordan to be the baby speaker is that he can’t be on the committee that has been trumps personal attack branch in government.
Can they not get somene sane without so much baggage?.. thos clown is just a laugh.
Re-elect McCarthy !
Ohio State wrestlers are already mobilizing. Jordan would be the kiss of death to the GOP’s slim majority.
Jim Jordan, awesome Republicans get your crap together ❤️
No Hakeem Jeffrey. You need to ask the people what/who we want!!!!
What a disaster, he’s a traitor, a insurrection supporter and those who support him aren’t much better. Vote the whole lot out in 2024 and end the clown show!
We see where you get your news from
The people of this country don’t want to send any money to those 3 countries. It’s crazy oh messed up our lawmakers are.
If you are a rep u need to vote for Jim put your child way aside
The trouble with some Republicans is they actually want a Democrat for Speaker. 🤬
That is a joke. The man who helped with jan six, house speaker. Our demarcrocy is on life support ok enough said blue wave
He better kiss jim and green ass or he gone😅😅😅😅popcorn 🍿
Wow, Democratic channel to the bone. My God, can I say God here without getting a beatdown?
there is a snake in the wood pile
I hope he wins!!! Go Jim!
Wow. She told us nothing about the differences between Jordan and the moderates in the republican party
Are there ‘moderates’ in the Republican Party?
…just like them to elect a child sodmizer to go along w/the rapist..
What happened to the ‘real’ republicans?
One was stripped of standing in House and lost the reelection bid. The other one lost his district due to redistricting. That were the only 2 real Republicans in the House
CAN CONGRESSMAN JIM “AIR’ JORDAN DUNK ON NBA LEGEND MICHAEL AIR” JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍
Oh Hell, why not? Gym Jordan is the Lesser of Two Hasterts
Jim Jordan is so incompetent he’s a non-lawyer. Google it.
Insurrectionist Trump and his GQP maga sycophant Karens broke the antiquated, weak GOP.
WE THE PEOPLE OF USA, WE DON’T HAVE TO GIVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARES TO UKRAINE FOR WAR, FK ZELENSKY WITH THE DEMOCRATS WHO TAKE OUR TAXES FOR THERE POKES AND WE EVEN CAN’T PAY OUR BILL’S SO NNNNN-NOT, NO WAY JOSE, ZELENSKY WAN MONEY, GO AND GET A JOB TO GAVE TO HIS WIFE TO GO TO FIFTH AV. IN MANHATTAN AND SPEN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN CLOSE, JULRIE, SHOES AND WHO NOWS IN WHAT ELSE. THAT’S ENOUGH…!!!
Henrietta for President (or maybe Speaker) – why not? Are the current alternatives better? Show me – make the case.
Just be done with it and get ahold of Kinzinger or Cheney or Jefferies. There has to be at least 10 Republicans that would vote with integrity.
Don’t let the Democrat be House Speaker . God intervene
There better not be NO MORE MONEY FOR Ukraine, JIM JORDON FOR SPEAKER …..
Sounds like a Russian opinion
How can American fund anybody and it 33 trillion $$$ plus in dept …
Is moderate a code word for rino?
❤❤❤JIM JORDAN❤❤❤. WE THE PEOPLE WANT JIM JORDAN ❤❤❤ JIM JORDAN ❤❤ O TEUMP PREFERIBLE TEUMP BUT SINCE TEUMP IS RUNING FOR PRESIDENT THEN ❤JIM JORDAN ❤❤
sounds like the aperatice is the real problem here
The only thing will get passed is another billion dollars for Everything Trump crime family
Remove JimJordan
Remove JImJorad and YouTube Ads!
Everyone’s just wanted to make sure to see what he’s looking to do is he get in peach or what are his motives
All you have to do is look at who is opposing Jim Jordan’s nomination and you know without a doubt he is the correct one for the job! 🤔
Henrietta! Null and void of your opinion. Jim Jordan🙏 the Speaker of the House!
