Jordan makes his case to moderate Republicans as House speaker race intensifies
Fox News
House Judiciary Chairman Jordan made his case to be the next House speaker to the Main Street Caucus, a group that boasts a significant number of moderates.
Those moderates, particularly from districts won by President Biden in 2020, may be wary of supporting a lawmaker who previously led the hardline-right House Freedom Caucus.

"I think there's still some hesitation from New Yorkers… particularly those who are in Biden districts, because Jim Jordan has just been so pro-Trump," one source familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital afterward. "You’ve got the moderates that are in Biden districts that may not feel comfortable." Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
