Sean Hannity’s Push for Rep. Jim Jordan’s Election as House Speaker Causes Irritation Among House Members

House Speaker nominee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is set to make his bid for the position today, and Fox News host Sean Hannity has been pushing for his election. According to Axios, a “Hannity” staffer sent an email to hesitant lawmakers asking why they weren’t voting for Jordan.

This has reportedly caused some irritation among House members, with one member telling the outlet that Hannity’s tactics were “counterproductive.” Hannity has defended his actions, saying that he is “daring to ask elected officials to do their job.”

The House Freedom Caucus, which Jordan founded, has been a major force in the Republican Party in recent years. Jordan has been a frequent guest on Fox News, and his investigations into political foes have made him a household name.

The outcome of today’s vote is still uncertain, with many speculating on the behavior of moderate Republicans and what the results could mean for the conservative movement. It remains to be seen whether Jordan will be successful in his bid for House Speaker.
