Lawmakers are still putting themselves in the never-Jordan camp, as the House potentially moves to a full floor vote on Friday.
In a private secret ballot held on Friday, Jordan edged out surprise challenger Rep. Austin Scott, a Georgia Republican who announced Friday morning that he would enter the race as an alternative to the archconservative Ohio Republican.
At least three GOP lawmakers have publicly put themselves in the never-Jordan camp thus far. It's fewer than the two dozen detractors who doomed Scalise’s run, but with 217 votes needed to take the speakership, Jordan can only afford to lose support from four Republicans. Rep. Ann Wagner told CNN that Jordan is a “non-starter,” and Reps. Mike Rogers and John Rutherford Scott, who ran as a protest candidate to Jordan more than anything else,reporters earlier in the day that “actually, I don't necessarily want to be Speaker of the House. I want a House that functions correctly.”
