AOC's bid to stop Jim Jordan becoming speaker

New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez predicted the Republicans from her state might not vote to elect Jim Jordan as speaker given the Ohio firebrand's far-right record. 'We'll see if Jim Jordan has the votes,' the progressive Democrat told CNN. 'We'll see if individuals like Mike Lawler or Marc Molinaro who represent New Yorkers ... will actually vote to install a man who voted to overturn the United States's election and who supports a national abortion ban to be speaker of the House, second in line to the presidency.' She predicted they would be voted out of office if they did support Jordan. 'I have my doubts that the people of New York would really stand for that.'
