Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Spartz seems to be souring on her support for Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
Jordan won the latest nomination to be Speaker in the House Republican caucus but fell far short of the 217 votes needed.
Spartz issued the statement below on her decision to reconsider her support.
“Today, I voted to support Jim Jordan for speaker. He is a great American with strong conservative values, but I am not sure if he truly is the independent thinker and visionary leader we need to deliver for the American people. After witnessing all of the behind-the-scenes politics, backstabbing, undermining, top-down attitude and statements made by former Speaker McCarthy and his allies in conference today, I will have to assess on Monday if Jim is the right person who will be held accountable to the same standard as Kevin was, or just another puppet for the swamp with a better bio. I am also very disappointed that we were sent home without reconciling this issue.”
