Rep. Jim Jordan, the Republican nominee for House speaker, has been meeting with and making calls to shore up support from the GOP conference to shore up support for his bid to be speaker.
Rep. Jim Jordan said Monday he feels 'really good' going into Tuesday's floor vote in the race to be the next speaker of the House. 'When I left Friday, I told our colleagues, 'Look, we'll visit over the weekend. We'll talk about any concerns and listen to concerns you may have,'' Jordan exclusively told CBS News. 'I think none of those concerns are anything that we can't, we can't address so I feel good about where we're at.
Ann Wagner, of Missouri, who previously vowed to voted against him. 'Jim Jordan and I spoke at length again this morning, and he has allayed my concerns about keeping the government open with conservative funding, the need for strong border security, our need for consistent international support in times of war and unrest, as well as the need for stronger protections against the scourge of human trafficking and child exploitation,' Wagner said.
