But more than half a dozen Republicans coming in and out of the meeting said they still plan to vote against Jordan.Some concerns date back much further: "Jim at some point, if he's going to lead this conference ... is going to have to be strong and say Donald Trump didn't win the election," said Rep. Ken Buck .Reps.
Rep. Victoria Spartz wants Jordan to keep working privately to secure the votes he needs, rather than going straight to the floor. If he's short on the first ballot, she said, "the best I can do is maybe vote 'present.'" "I'm a really nice guy, I try to get to yes," said Diaz-Balart. "I will tell you, though, a little bit of advice: If anybody is trying to get my vote, the last thing you want to do is try to intimidate and pressure me."Jordan and his allies projected bullishness about the vote, saying even if it goes to multiple ballots they expect him to win the gavel in the end.
