House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., announced that he would step aside to support Jim Jordan's bid for Speaker of the House.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan scored a major win this morning as House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers reversed himself and endorsed the Ohio Republican for Speaker. Rogers was a major holdout, adamantly opposing Jordan as recently as late Friday afternoon. But Jordan and Rogers spoke over the weekend and Rogers is now in the camp of Jordan.
The support from Rogers could be seismic in this Speaker’s contest. Many defense hawks were worried about Jordan’s spending plans and how it may adversely slash defense. But Rogers and Jordan now appear to be on the same page. The backing of Rogers could bring along a number of other defense hawks into Jordan’s camp. Jordan definitely made headway over the weekend as he tries to narrow his deficit. But, it’s about the math. And the math remains challenging for Jordan.
So, it’s possible Jordan could win the Speakership tomorrow. He’s certainly a little closer than the other day. But the raw opposition from some Republicans to Jordan could mean we’re in for a continued, pitched battle this week. And as always, it will boil down to the math.
