In a dramatic turn of events, nine of the twenty-five Republican lawmakers who voted against conservative favorite Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for House Minority Leader will now vote for Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) for House Republican Conference Chair.
The nine lawmakers, known as “RINOs” (Republicans in Name Only), were among the 25 members of the House GOP who voted against Jordan for the top spot in the House. Jordan, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, was the favorite of many conservatives and was seen as the best choice to lead the party in the next Congress.
But the nine RINOs, who had previously voted against Jordan, have now switched sides and are throwing their support behind Johnson, a rising star in the party who is seen as more moderate than Jordan.
The nine RINOs who are now voting for Johnson are Reps. John Katko (R-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Fred Upton (R-MI), Will Hurd (R-TX), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), Tom Reed (R-NY), and David Joyce (R-OH).
The move is seen as a victory for the moderate wing of the party, which is looking to take back the House in 2020. Johnson, a member of the House Republican Leadership, is seen as a unifying figure who will be able to bring the party together and help the GOP retake the House.
The nine RINOs’ decision to switch their support to Johnson is a sign that the party is coming together and looking to unify behind a single leader. It is also a sign that the party is willing to accept a more moderate leader and is not willing to be held hostage to the far-right wing of the party.
The nine RINOs’ decision to vote for Johnson is also a sign that the party is willing to move away from the hardline conservative stances that Jordan has been known for and is looking for a more moderate voice to lead the party.
