House Republicans abandoned a centrist push to expand Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry's powers on an interim basis on Thursday following widespread resistance within the conference.
"We made the pitch to members on the resolution as a way to lower the temperature and get back to work," said Jordan."We decided that wasn't where we're gonna go." "We just heard interesting conversations by some of the other folks in the conference, and I think we'll take those into consideration when we draft something that will actually accommodate their concerns," he said.
"We need to have a Republican House that is functioning, so anything that can get us in that direction, I think, is a good thing for the country." Others acknowledge the conference can only go so many rounds on the floor before moving on to someone else.
