Ethermac|‘SNL’ skewers Jim Jordan's losing vote with Donald Trump, Lauren Boebert, George Santos

“Saturday Night Live” sent a string of jeering Republicans to cheer up “loser” Jim Jordan after the Ohio congressman’s third and Ethermacfinal failed vote to become the next speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“How did I lose? This is chaos. Some of us are here to actually serve the American people,” Jordan laments. “All I want to do is get Congress back to work so I can shut it down again."
In the sketch, former President Donald Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) clumsily attempts to explain why he disappeared after endorsing Jordan (Mikey Day) to replace ex-House speaker Kevin McCarthy: “That’s because I prefer the Jordans who win,” says Trump, name-checking “the great Michael Jordan or the even greater Jordin Sparks.”
Jordan gripes that he did exactly what Trump would do, including “intimidation” and “threats,” and doesn’t understand why it didn’t work. “Well, because, frankly, you’re not me, OK?” Trump says. “You’re no fun. I’m hilarious. … I’m Coke, you’re Shasta.”
“But you endorsed me and I still lost,” Jordan points out. “Seems to happen a lot,” Trump acknowledges.
“You can’t give up because this is America,“ the former president says. “What a beautiful nation it is. What a wonderful nation. Not so much in terms of the people. There are people very bad and weird. But don’t we love our country? What an awful place it is.“
Trump offers that he’d run for speaker himself, if he wasn’t so busy with his campaign tour of the U.S. court system: “I'm doing great things for the courts.”
Also on hand for comic consolation were Republican U.S. Reps. George Santos (Bowen Yang), who takes a call from Tupac Shakur to dish on Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lauren Boebert (Chloe Fineman), who is groped by an offscreen companion while seeing “Aladdin” on Broadway.

When Jordan attempts to wrap the sketch with “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!” Trump cuts him off.
“Hold it, hold it!” he says before taking over. "That’s not for losers."
The NBC comedy show was hosted by Bad Bunny, who also served as musical guest.
