GOP Presidential candidate Chris Christie predicted Jim Jordan would fail to convert enough lawmakers who voted against him in the first ballot for speaker.
It's time for Rep. Jim Jordan to move on, according to fellow Republican Chris Christie.Jordan lost his second straight attempt
Christie predicted that Jordan would indeed fail to convert enough of the 20 House Republicans who voted against him in the first ballot Tuesday. Jordan in that initial vote won just 200 of the 217 votes he needed to become speaker. Christie ducked around the question of whether he thought Jordan should lead the Republican-majority House.
"What I would say is, just get a speaker. You know, we have Israel aid, Ukraine aid, aid to Taiwan, border security and a budget all to get done. And none of that can get done without a speaker," he said."If he does one thing they don't like, then he's out and we're back in this barrel again," Christie said, referring to a cadre of far-right Republicans who led the push to oust the last speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
