Washington, United States — The US House of Representatives began a third week of paralysis Monday as Republicans struggled to unite behind a leader to end a bitter civil war that has stalled their domestic agenda and thwarted action on the Israel crisis.
But his narrow win in the House Republican conference’s internal speaker election Friday over a lawmaker with almost no public profile raised questions over whether he has the support to win that vote. “The country and our conference cannot afford us attacking each other right now. It is time we unite to get back to work on behalf of the American people.”
That created bad blood between the Jordan camp and Scalise supporters upset by their candidate not getting the full-throated backing of the entire party after winning the nomination. Meanwhile lawmakers are staring down a looming government shutdown as they have only a month to agree on 2024 federal spending levels before the money runs out.
But US media reported that at least 10 mainstream Republicans have determined to vote against Jordan for as long as it takes to ensure he never wins the gavel.
