The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the House will be voting at 10 AM ET today for third time to select a new Speaker.
Conservative favorite Jim Jordan must flip at least 17 of the 22 RINOS currently holding out on him in order to prevail.
This might be now or never for Jordan. Jake Sherman of Punchbowl News reports that several GOPers are likely to be headed home for the weekend. Holding a vote then might prove a high-risk move and could accidentally elect Jeffries.
Several House GOP sources tell me some Republican lawmakers are going home this weekend. So the GOP has to be very careful about holding speaker votes this weekend. They could end up inadvertently electing @RepJeffries
