Conservative donors are pledging to withhold funding from Republican House members who refuse to support House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan for Speaker, the Daily Caller has learned.
As the House is set to vote for a Speaker on Tuesday, there are twelve House Republicans who have refused to say they would support Jordan, putting him short of the necessary 217 votes he would need on the floor. GOP donors are telling the Caller they will be withholding their donations to anyone who does not end up supporting Jordan in the vote.
Jordan has continued to pick up the support of House Republicans over the weekend after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise dropped out of the race.
