And of course, Jordan and his minions would be more than happy to have a long term government shut down next month...the destruction of the US government, as it has operated for almost 250 years, has always been their goal.
Facing this catastrophe there is one quick cure. Jeffries got 212 votes from the 212 House Democrats. He will get 212 votes in the next one, and in all the possible upcoming votes for Speaker. Would a catastrophic shut down convince 5 Republicans who have some integrity (are there 5 of these?) to make Jeffries the next House Speaker? One other cure, the Republicans who would vote for a more reasonable member of their conference (is there one of these?), go to the Democrats and convince enough of them to vote for their "reasonable" candidate...and to avoid a shut down, the Democrats agree to give that person the votes needed.

Some political utterly useless trivia.
Jim Jordan is now the undisputed leader in getting the least number of votes for Speaker of the House in a single ballot, just 199.
Jeffries now is the undisputed leader in getting the maximum number of votes for Speaker, 3700 over 17 ballots. He can thank McCarthy for his 15 attempts to grab the gavel earlier this year.
And as the GOP debacle for search for a Speaker continues, his vote number will keep mounting.
And by the way, the House is in recess as of this afternoon once again.

^^ We all know its coming, right?
The Repugnants will blame the Democrats for voting against Jordan.
212 Jeffries, 199 Jordan.
Or how about the Repugnants threatening to keep the House in recess until Jordan is elected Speaker? That is how MAGA works, firing blanks.

This is why I have been calling Republicans Repugnants, clueless about constitution, laws or functioning of the government. MAGAts are few rungs below Republicans.
Awful, disgusting, dreadful, evil, hideous, loathsome, nasty, nauseating, noxious are some of the other descriptors.

Understanding is not the issue. It's all about deflecting blame for the GOP fucking-off on the taxpayer dime.

In what world does this Cult or even Republicans accept reality of their action?
They relish proud are they in their ignorance. Badge of honor...
The truth exposed to them only hardens their resolve to fight back.
