It's astounding he's the candidate being put forward.
I mean I dislike the guy in general but even among Republicans and for Republicans, he's an atrocious candidate.
Apart from the obvious very real implicit acceptance of his role in Jan 6 and the Big Lie and his role in the cover-up of sexual abuse of student athletes at Ohio State, he's not a very effective legislator and there seems to be very little indication that he'll be well placed to guide a united front for the GOP in Congress either.
The man has been in Congress for 16 years and hasn't in that time passed any legislation that became law - and only had three resolutions that were agreed to:
Expressing sympathy for victims of flooding in Ohio in 2007 Calling for a special counsel against the IRS to see if they were unfairly investigating conservative non-profits Calling for a "Weaponisation Committee" to be formed, to investigate 'government targeting of conservative voices'
He is openly disdainful of Senate Republican leadership of his own party, who despite his record of no legislation, he needs to actually get things through the Senate. He has no love or even tough love working relationship with House Democrats.

Then votes for Jordan to a round of applause. Go figure.

Reminder “Gym” Jorden was part of the cover up of the Ohio State sexual abuse of student athletes.
