jim jordan -- speaker designee. jim jordan canceled a third vote on a ballot vote today. something else that has come up, speaking to the intensity and emotions and frustrations, there have been a number of jordan holdouts who have been receiving death threats, menacing messages, angry phone calls to their offices. there's been several members who have received death threats over their vote. so that came up in the meeting. jim jordan, of course, has denounced those threats and said he is not involved in any of these outside pressure campaign tactics that have been deployed by some conservative leaders and conservative media figures. but it all just speaks to just how tense things are inside the gop as they still scramble to come up with a solution here. >> this is -- it's awful. it's ridiculous. when it comes to jim jordan and this idea of empowering the speaker pro tempore, the sort of acting speaker mchenry, where is jim jordan on that vote? >> reporter: he's gone back and forth. initially he was against the idea. he was telling supporters to vote against it yesterday w

to the jim jordan of 2023. and there's been a lot of change and, i guess, maturity in the way he's approached things. i think he's a great communicator. and i think jim is absolutely a viable candidate. i think steve's a viable candidate. but more importantly, i think one of the things we need to be doing is really focusing on the stability or structure of the job, the position, of speaker of the house. >> jim jordan obviously defied a congressional subpoena from the january 6 committee. is that a factor at all in whether or not he's the right person to succeed kevin mccarthy? >> look, the january 6 committee was a partisan effort. if there had been a committee that was actually set up that republicans got to choose who was on it and got to appoint their own members, i think that would have been a different story. but to go out and structure it the way they did at the beginning, you really did undermine the integrity of that committee. while every other committee in the congress, you have the respective parties

where does the conference go, though, if jim jordan drops out of this race? i think that that question is so uncertain. yesterday they were entertaining potentially empowering patrick mchenry temporarily but as they were in a conference meeting very similar to the one that is happening behind us today, they essentially decided as a conference that that was not the step that they wanted to take. so it's so hard to imagine where this goes from here if the decision by the conference is that jim jordan needs to step aside. >> so, lauren, what have we heard about how democrats are responding to all of this? are they still open to the possibility of empowering patrick mchenry if republicans strike a deal with them? >> reporter: i think a really revealing thing that we've seen today is that hakeem jeffries, the democratic leader, has spoken not just once, but twice to reporters today making very clear and making himself available to get across the point that democrats in his words remain ready to work with republicans to find a bipartisan solution. reading between t
