The 20 Republicans Who Voted Against Jim Jordan

Evan Coren looks at the similarities among the group of Republicans that voted against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for speaker yesterday.

They fall into three groups: appropriators, swing district Republicans and New Yorkers.

Philip Bump: “Of the 18 districts held by Republicans that preferred Biden in 2020, six Republicans voted for someone other than Jordan. Twelve voted in support of Jordan, but that’s only 6 percent of Jordan’s votes. The six who rejected Jordan make up 30 percent of the anti-Jordan votes.”
