Rep. Jim Jordan failed for a second time to win the speaker gavel., R-La., withdrew from the race. Jordan will likely need the support of 217 of 221 Republicans to be elected to the position, but he received only 200 votes on the first ballot.
Most members are still in the dark about a path forward, as are many aides involved in this process. It’s possible we could soon see additional resolution on this point.Jordan has lost the second round of votes to become speaker. He received only 199 votes, one less than yesterday, after losing supporters.It appears all the tallying is done and lots of chatter is happening. But McHenry still hasn't announced the vote, which is needed to formally conclude.
In his speech, Cole referred to his opposition to the motion to vacate that ousted McCarthy, saying that at the time he had said that the absence of a speaker would"put the Congress in the state of chaos and the country into a state of uncertainty," and that"the last two weeks have vindicated that observation."
Jordan then approached LaLota and the two spoke one-on-one for a few minutes. LaLota then sat down again with his fellow New York holdouts.Jeffries told reporters on his way to the floor this morning that Democrats are open to a resolution that would empower McHenry as speaker pro tempore. Jordan said he met with GOP leadership today and said to “put both questions to the body today," as his attitude is,"let's just get an answer."
While the House is in uncharted territory with a speaker ousted from office, there is precedent for electing a speaker pro tempore. On several occasions, especially in the 20th century, the House voted to elect temporary speakers during short absences of the permanent speaker. “I think one of the options is to have a 30-day speaker,” Buck said yesterday on MSNBC. “Patrick McHenry would be the logical choice for that.”
