House Republicans are dumping ice water on Rep. Jim Jordan’s nascent bid for speaker, charging that the rebellious Ohio conservative hasn’t cultivated the relationships or stature to be a serious candidate.

Jordan announced Friday that will consider a bid in November if Republicans hold the majority in the midterm. But his GOP colleagues are skeptical at best, and at worst, mock the notion that the founding member of the House Freedom Caucus could garner the support needed to win a senior leadership post. Jordan, an antagonist, hasn’t laid a political foundation for advancement by supporting, through fundraising and legislation, a broad ideological cross-section of the House GOP majority.
