Jim Jordan Is Out of Step With His Party

Bloomberg: “Jordan, a co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus, votes more conservatively than any Republican speaker in at least three decades, according to ideology scores that rank how similarly legislators have voted on an economic liberalism-to-conservatism spectrum. The scores are based on a model known as DW-NOMINATE, which was first developed by two academics at Carnegie-Mellon University more than 30 years ago and is widely used by political scientists.”

“The measure also places Jordan further from his party’s median score than the last several Republican speakers.”
