Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) has flipped. He will support House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.
Jordan does not have the 217 Republican votes needed to win a vote on the House floor.
Jordan can only lose four votes. Everyone knows no Democrats will for a Republican.
Rogers landed in hot water on Friday when he said Republicans should work with Democrats to get some to cross the aisle:
Rogers suggested Republicans might have to cut a deal with Democrats and called on Jeffries to spell out what concessions he would require to help the GOP elect a speaker.“They put us in this ditch along with eight traitors,” the Alabama Republican said, referring to hardline GOP dissidents who toppled Speaker Kevin McCarthy last week. “We’re still the majority party, we’re willing to work with them, but they gotta tell us what they need.”
Rogers is the guy who tried to attack Rep. Matt Gaetz during the Speaker vote in January.
