Democrats say Jim Jordan speaker nomination moves far-right into power #Shorts

House Democrats wary of GOP surprise speaker nominee, Jim Jordan, claim they are "once again choosing Donald Trump."

House Republicans, befallen by disorder and infighting, nominated Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio., for speaker after an internal secret ballot vote behind closed-doors Friday, marking another step towards electing a new leader as the lower chamber is in its 10th day without a speaker.

Jordan, the House Judiciary Committee chair, defeated Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., who made a surprise entrance into the speaker’s race hours earlier as an anti-Jordan alternative.
