'Not quite as crazy as Jim Jordan': Analyst predicts GOP’s next steps in speakership fight

Hours after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-IN) dropped his speaker bid on Tuesday — the same day he was nominated — MSNBC host Joy Reid discussed with Bulwark writer Tim Miller possible next steps for House Republicans.

"How does this end?" Reid asked Miller during Tuesday's episode of The ReidOut. "Clearly, we're getting close to a government shutdown. It seems there is part of the caucus that wants it this way. They don't want there to be a House of Representatives that functions so they can't fund anything and spend anything. How does this end?"

Miller replied, "The three ways I see it ending is one — the most normal Republicans go along with somebody who is crazy but not quite as crazy as [Judiciary Committee Chairman] Jim Jordan (R-OH). They folded before to [ex-President] Donald Trump, so why wouldn't they? The other one is they actually bring something to the floor that the Democrats could vote for. I think that might have actually worked for Tom Emmer, which is why they didn't want to bring him to the floor. Democrats might have voted for him had they brought it to the floor. The other thing is the shutdown happening and eventually pressure. But that's three weeks — another three weeks from now. But if you get there, I think then maybe enough pressure happens that something cracks. I don't — maybe there's another magical way I don't see, but that seems to be it to me."
