Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) does not win the gavel on January 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">\u201cI\u2019m very, I\u2019m concerned about that. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s likely, but I am concerned about it,\u201d Jordan told host Matthew Boyle.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Several Republicans, including Reps.

Republicans are expected to have a thin majority of 222-213. In a scenario where every eligible representative is present and casts a vote, McCarthy would need 218 votes to secure the speakership. If just five Republicans refuse to vote for him, and no Democrat representative makes up the difference, McCarthy would not gain the votes needed to be elected, creating what some Republicans are calling a \u201cdoomsday scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">As Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/11\/28\/exclusive-conservatives-warn-of-doomsday-scenario-if-mccarthy-fails-in-speaker-race-where-democrats-neuter-gop-power\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">It is in that chaos that conservatives worry Democrats may step up to back an establishment Republican alternative to McCarthy who, in exchange for Democrat votes on the floor of the House to get the majority needed to win the speakership, would agree to rule changes to weaken subpoenas coming from the new House GOP majority into Democrat President Joe Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">The potential disastrous outcome for conservatives threatens to undermine investigations they plan to carry out in the next Congress, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/11\/20\/exclusive-comer-bank-records-first-focus-biden-probe\/\">including<\/a> an investigation into the Biden family.

You know, if \u2026 Jamie does that press conference under previous leadership, they\u2019re going to come out and say like, \u2018Oh, well, you know,\u2019 they would have distanced themselves from that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot Leader McCarthy; he came out and said, \u2018Look, we appreciate what these guys are doing. We got to get the truth to the American people,&#8217;\u201d continued Jordan. \u201cHe tweeted about it the very \u2026 day I think Mr. Comer had the conference, so I think he\u2019s committed because he knows this is important for the country, and it\u2019s part of our duty to get information to the American people. So let\u2019s hope that there\u2019s never any kind of bargain where you bring the Democrats into play because they\u2019ll be \u2026 trying to stop investigations that are our constitutional duty to conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><i>Breitbart News Saturday airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
