Gym Jacket Off Jordan faces an Existential Crisis & Quest To Be Less Of An Assh*le In Order To Stay In Power
Any hope Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) may have about his future in the House will hinge in large part on the far-right Freedom Caucus, which has lost faith in him at a time there are rumors he is positioning himself to climb the leadership ladder.
For the Ohio Republican, the Freedom Caucus has an easy path to kill his dreams in much the same way former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) not only lost his battle, but eventually walked away from his seat.
According to NOTUS's Reese Gorman, Jordan has undergone a dramatic transformation from the controversial bomb-thrower who made him a national political figure.
"Jim completely changed his tack," said one senior Republican who opposed Jordan for speaker in 2023. "He knew that for any chance for him to ascend to a top leadership role, or any leadership role for that matter, he was going to have to shed the wrestler Jim and become a little bit more congenial, workable, friendly and civil."
"Some of his angling is frustrating to some on the right," one Freedom Caucus member told NOTUS. Another was blunter: "Jordan has become milquetoast."
