There are only 24 hours in a day, but Rep. Jim Jordan is certainly making the most of his: The embattled nominee for House Speaker has managed to lose the vote not once but twice and become embroiled in a cyberbullying scandal, all in a day’s miserable work.

Bacon’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter. Bacon told Politico he’s received similar anonymous messages, too, as he says Jordan and his allies are ramping up pressure on him. “Jim’s been nice, one-on-one, but his broader team has been playing hardball,” Bacon said.
