MODERATORS
Jordan doesn't have the votes to win the floor vote. He's DOA. What needs to happen is someone from the moderate wing to make a power-sharing deal with the Dems. It's the only way they get the house moving again.
I've been saying that since forever but the problem is, as Republicans, they aren't really interested in getting the House moving, ever. If there were a small cadre of RINOs who were willing to go to the Dems and offer to really work with them to pass bipartisan bills and push through the backlogged daily business like military appointments, they could probably get most of the Dems to agree to elect their candidate, because Dems do want government to succeed. But such a cadre doesn't exist, just the old hardliners and the MAGA deplorables. So the Dems stick with Hakeem Jeffries, because they have nothing to gain for themselves or the country by making it easier for the GOP.
