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.

So, joke question out of the way: how many rounds do you think they'll go this time?

More serious question, for those that can, have you contacted your reps regarding however you might like to see them approach this matter?

Bias incoming:

Like have you asked your reps to tell Jordan to stop running and work towards a bipartisan coalition/consensus candidate instead?
