Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., came out with a peace offering Friday to frustrated Republicans.
Gaetz told reporters, after Jordan fell 21 votes shy of the 215 needed in the third round of voting for speaker, the eight House GOP members that co-signed the notice to vacate former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., would be willing to accept punishment if they would permit Jordan to ascend to the speakership.
Gaetz and others among those eight said that may include removal from House committees, but that they would remain reliable Republican-policy voters in the House. At a news conference ahead of the vote, Jordan said the House needed to install a speaker so it could take up aid for Israel and other matters.
"I think there were all kinds of problems with the 2020 election, and I've been clear about that," he said.
