Good legislative leaders limit tough votes for their caucus members. In one swoop, in a vote he had to have figured he had no chance to win, gym put basically every republican in a competitive district a tough vote between angering their base or pissing off swing voters.

It'd be one thing if a tough vote got a speaker elected, but this was an utterly inane move.

McCarthy was fully onboard with the push, so Jordan probably felt it was credible enough to flip the votes.

Problem is he failed to account for the fact that people aren't really gonna listen to a disgraced ex-Speaker.
