R-Ohio, fell short on the first round voting for speaker. He was nominated last week to be speaker after House Majority Leader
Asked whether Jeffries was talking about a temporary or permanent speaker, he said, “All options are on the table.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said that there was frustration among Republicans after the outcome of the first vote. "He's said publicly that he’s supporting Jim Jordan, but I haven’t received the phone call. So no, no, I can’t say that I’ve spoken to him about that," Gimenez said.
Buck was one of 20 GOP dissenters who voted against Jordan on the first ballot. And he has said he cannot vote for a speaker who refuses to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He's also been pushing to protect Ukraine aid. The vote was 200 for Jordan and 232 voting for someone else. Jordan could afford to lose only three GOP votes, given that Rep. Gus Bilirakis of Florida, a Jordan supporter, missed the vote due to a funeral. Jordan lost 20 Republicans.Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., did not vote by voice but voted for Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., after the roll call vote ended.On the House floor, Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
He continued throughout his nomination, adding that the House is"debating a speaker nominee who has not passed a single bill in 16 years." The Democratic side could be heard chanting"Hakeem."The Democratic side of the aisle bursts out ooohs and chuckles when Elise Stefanik mentions Jim Jordan’s wrestling past.“He doesn’t deserve to be House speaker,” one of them said in a recent interview. “He still has to answer for what happened to us.
Asked about some of the concerns he has heard from members, Jordan sidestepped the question, saying that he has been “picking up support every day” and that he feels “confident.”
