Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is calling on House Republicans to “come together” and stop attacking each other as some conference members express their displeasure with the Ohio Republican’s pressure campaign to be elected House speaker.

Jordan, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said Tuesday night that there is “too much at stake” to have House GOP infighting. He needs at least 16 of the 20 Republicans who voted against him in the first speaker ballot to flip their vote and support him to be elected in a subsequent ballot.

We must stop attacking each other and come together.

There’s too much at stake.

Let’s get back to working on the crisis at the southern border, inflation, and helping Israel. — Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) October 18, 2023
