Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee jumped into the tense speakership battle with a Saturday morning jab at Republican Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Lee lambasted Rogers, claiming he “and a few other House Republicans would rather work with Democrats” than support Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan’s speakership bid.
In a move Lee blasted as “outrageous,” Rogers told reporters he was willing to work with House Democrats amid the speakership battle, The Washington Post reported.
Rogers told reporters Friday he absolutely would not back a Jordan speakership, according to The Hill.
It’s outrageous that Jim Jordan has been nominated by the party, has the support of McCarthy and McHenry, and yet Mike Rogers and a few House Republicans would rather work with Democrats. If you’re a House Republican, please vote for Jim Jordan—not Hakeem Jeffries.
