Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is pushing Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) to run for House Speaker. Gaetz is one of a few Republicans against California Republican Kevin McCarthy’s bid for House Speaker. Gaetz took to Twitter on Christmas Eve to post, “All I want for Christmas is @Jim_Jordan to realize he should be Speaker of the House,” and again on Christmas saying, “Merry Christmas to all! Make sure to join me in encouraging @Jim_Jordan to seek the Speakership :)”
From New York Post:
In a blistering piece published on the Daily Caller website last week, Gaetz said all House Republicans know that McCarthy “does not actually believe anything. He has no ideology.” ... Jordan, a leader in the House Freedom Caucus who is on course to become House Judiciary Committee chairman in the new Congress, has spoken highly of McCarthy’s leadership, saying he “has kept our team together.”
