Republicans, including some of Jordan's supporters, are warning that a conservative pressure campaign meant to shore up support is instead backfiring, imperiling the Ohioan's speaker bid:
Republicans (including no votes) acknowledge hardball tactics aren't coming from Jordan, but some want to see him do more publicly to tell his supporters to back off
Jordan spox: "it’s imperative that Republicans come together, stop attacking each other and get back to work"
We must stop attacking each other and come together.
There’s too much at stake.
Let’s get back to working on the crisis at the southern border, inflation, and helping Israel.

Their constituents are calling them, as is their right. It’s literally the Reps job to take these calls. They work for the constituents in their districts. This isn’t about what the Representatives want, it what the people want.

Jordan NOs not genuinely motivated by grievances re process—a so-called grassroots “pressure campaign.” This is a straw man. It’s being driven by the $$ from K St
Ironically, an actual pressure campaign involving donors, lobbyists & more was levied against conservatives in Jan

That doesn't even make sense. Are they saying they'll continue to vote 'no' out of spite if their constituents pressure them to vote yes? If so, their constituents should act accordingly and replace them with someone who isn't a petulant child.

Please do let
@HouseGOP
know that conservatives are their voters and they're making it known they want Jordan & if they stamp their feet and ignore their voters they will be going home in the primaries that are coming their way next year & like good elephants we never forget

I know if my republican rep does not change her No vote then I will be voting No on her re-election. And she won her seat by a slim count.

What it’s hopefully doing is exposing what petty, egotistical self serving politicians serve in the
@GOP
conference. That they are absolutely fine with the direction of our country and will spite anyone (including constituents) that challenge that.
