While the Ohio congressman has made terrific strides in bringing former opponents into his project, there depend on 11 Republicans who remain opposed to his quote. Jordan can just pay for to lose 4 GOP votes if he is to secure the leading spot.

I’ll project, I’ll make signs, I’ll put them in the lawn. I’ll campaign against you, and I will not forget,” he alerted.
