On the presumption that NOTHING matters to a politician more than HIS/HER OWN reelection, there are 20-odd Republican representatives who believe Jordan is bad for their general election prospects either in 2024 or 2026. In swing districts, they may face primary challengers, but I suspect the 2022 MI-3 experience may become wide spread for Republicans.

Will the current hold-outs continue to hold out? Dunno. Maybe multiple votes against the favorite for Speaker could gain them street cred in today's GOP when muscular resistance is valued for its muscularity rather than for such trivia as what's being resisted.
