DC “Uniparty” Blocks Jim Jordan From Winning First House Speaker Vote, Second Vote Scheduled
Since the turn of the 20th century, globalists have been working to place a majority of “like-minded” politicians, a bipartisan “uniparty,” in positions of power.
Some uniparty loyalists were put on alert following Freedom Caucus member and America’s first Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH winning the GOP nomination for speaker in his second try following the party’s first nominee, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), dropping out before a House floor vote could happen.
Scalise chose not to fight to win over a small group of conservative Republicans.

Leading up to Tuesday’s vote to formally choose the new Speaker, 50-plus GOP members were not on board, but many were falling in line late Monday.
As voting started, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) formally nominated Jordan on the House floor.

But as expected Jordan did not get the required number of votes.
The final tally showed Jordan getting 200 votes and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the nominee for the Democrats, getting 212 votes.
Twenty Republicans voted for other people in the GOP. Only a simple majority in the chamber was needed to secure victory.

Jordan calls for GOP unity following failed House speaker vote
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is calling for unity among House Republicans just hours after a number of party members tanked the chamber’s first vote on a new speaker.
“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,” Jordan wrote in a post on X.
Jordan won the support of 200 Republicans in Tuesday’s sole vote while 20 split their support between a number of others. All 212 Democrats voted for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
217 voters were needed to win the speaker’s gavel.
The House is expected to reconvene at 11:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday.
