jim jordan is not a great communicator. he is great on fox news because he throws out all kinds of bombs, right? i don't think he would be good with a crowd that is in a middle unless they don't wear suit jackets and he can relate on that level. that will be an interesting thing. the reason i think jim jordan can unite the caucus better. i think he is worse. it's because the incentive structure is such that these eight renegades that threw out the current speaker, kevin mccarthy, are probably going to get their way because they are willing to go to the edge of the earth, they are willing to withhold votes to get rid of kevin mccarthy. the question is, are there ten on the other side willing to play that same game to say, you know, hell, no, will i ever vote for jim jordan. if there are, jim jordan will never be speaker. we may get to a consensus speaker, which would be better for the country. unless that happened, i am not convinced there are the numbers. nancy mace mr. be on cnn i am sure at some point today. she voted aga

jordan, they are actually singing off the same hymnal. >> and i'm so excited to elect him. >> i did not support the removal of kevin mccarthy. i think that it was arguably stupidest move ever made in politics. but we have to move forward. so we'll rally around mike johnson. >> republicans' agenda will be back on track. we're unified and i think that we're happy to be where we are. >> so when you have those two saying the exact same thing, you know that you have fixed at least a lot of the problems that exist here. and i do think that there really is this sense of exhaustion that has set in, like we got to fix this. and mike johnson quite frankly doesn't have like a hell no conference right now. and i think without that, his path is the smoothest that we've seen so far. again, to lauren's point, we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. >> that is the bar by the way, not having a hell no conference. >> which is a big win i guess to some degree. lauren, there were i think 20 plus absences last night and i think the question that continues to come to mind, it is not like a hell no conferenc

jordan, couldn't get interest. a lot of people are more optimistic about mike johnson. representative lawler told our colleague manu raju he thought ousting kevin mccarthy was a dumb decision for the republican conference. he said he did think he could support mike johnson. he said that it was time to move on. i just think that is the sentiment among so many members. now, so many things can change in the course of just four hours before members go to the floor for a vote at noon. but i just think there is momentum, a lot of feeling that mike johnson is the guy for the job, and despite the fact he doesn't have a ton of policy experience, there is an expectation he could clinch the speakership today. >> not to dump cold water on the moment that republicans apparently have for closing the lowest bar, there is a ton of work that needs to be done in a compressed time window. we spoke to hakeem jeffries a short time ago about johnson becoming the next speaker. this is what he said. >> i don't know mike johnson well. base

jordan had to face going to the floor three times and never clinching the speaker's gavel. so that is under discussion right now. there is some sense that they could move to a floor vote tonight if they feel like that person can get 217 votes. but here is the huge if, phil, that is assuming that anyone, any of these eight candidates, are going to be able to garner the support they need. one interesting tidbit from our colleague manu raju last night, he asked a series of house freedom caucuses if they with would support tom emmer, the whip, largely seen as the front-runner, they were noncommittal. they wouldn't say if they would vote for emmer on the floor. there's a sense within the republican conference there needs to be new leadership, new blood and just pulling from the ranks of leaders that have already existed in the house republican conference that may not be good enough for some conservatives. again, important to remind everyone, this is a very narrow republican majority, which means whoever goes to the floor today dependent on attendance issues can only lose four vo
