The House is officially open for business and they are currently doing a quorum vote to determine who is there for the big House Speaker vote coming up soon.
As you know this vote will determine whether or not Jim Jordan becomes Speaker of the House and it will be very close.
It may go several rounds before we end up with a speaker.
You can watch it live below:
Here’s a summary of what we can expect:
Vibe heading into speaker vote: Jordan is confident and willing to go as many rounds as it takes to win. Members predict multiple rounds of voting. 5 GOP members that we know of are still against Jordan and he can only lose 3.
