In a recent report by POLITICO, it has been revealed that moderate Republicans in Congress have taken a stand against Rep. Jim Jordan, sparking a revolt within the House GOP. This comes in the wake of previous internal conflicts that have resulted in political chaos and a paralyzed House of Representatives.

The revolt against Jordan, who was designated as the House GOP's latest speaker, is particularly notable for the individuals leading it. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), representing a Biden district just north of New York City, is among the key figures organizing the emerging "NeverJordan" faction. Joining him are colleagues from similar districts, as well as committee chairs and institutionalists who are tired of the far-right faction that has caused the current predicament in Congress.

To delve into this development, Deep Dive podcast host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza sat down with Rep. Lawler to understand the motivations behind the movement and how these like-minded members of Congress have organized against Jordan and his allies. Furthermore, the discussion aims to shed light on the Republicans' strategy to restore functionality to the House and get back to work.

The revolt against Jordan marks yet another instance of GOP members breaking ranks with their party. Just weeks ago, the ousting of then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy by Rep. Matt Gaetz and several far-right Republicans precipitated the ongoing paralysis in Congress. Now, with the NeverJordan faction gaining momentum, it is clear that moderate Republicans are taking a stand against the influence of the far-right wing.

This internal conflict within the GOP has raised larger questions about the future direction of the party and its ability to effectively govern. As the House remains in disarray, it is imperative for the Republicans to find common ground and a path forward in order to address pressing issues facing the country.

The conversation between Lizza and Rep. Lawler provides a valuable insight into the dynamics at play within the Republican party and the efforts being made to restore stability in the House. It remains to be seen how successful the NeverJordan faction will be in exerting its influence and shaping the future of the GOP.

With the spotlight firmly on the internal struggles of the Republican party, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining the trajectory of the House and the ability of the GOP to unite and govern effectively.
