With divisions within the party becoming increasingly apparent, the nomination of Jim Jordan for speaker has raised questions \u200dabout whether party discord can be overcome.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Jordan, a \u2062Representative of \u200dOhio, emerged as the Republican nominee for speaker following a closed-door vote. His opponent, Austin Scott from\u200c Georgia, had\u200b maintained a low profile during his 12 years in \u2063Congress. Representative Elise Stefanik, \u200da member of the Republican leadership, announced Jordan&#8217;s victory on social media.\u200b <\/p>\n<p>However, Jordan&#8217;s nomination \u2062comes\u2063 at a time of intense infighting \u200cwithin the Republican Party.
