The keen of you will have noticed that, unlike Monday and Tuesday, I didn't make a discussion post today about the Speaker's race. It was my full intention to do so, however, news broke this morning that the GOP nominee, Jim Jordan, scrapped his plans for a vote this afternoon.

A deal empowering Speaker pro tempore Patrick McHenry was speculated to be a potential "out" for the 18 GOP congresspersons who represent Biden-won districts, however after a 3-hour closed-door meeting today, the GOP was still undecided.

Tonight, Jim Jordan has announced plans for a third ballot, which he believes will take place 10:00 AM (EST) on Friday.

Exactly. Nobody wants to be the next Liz Cheney.
