Despite deepening opposition, Rep. Jim Jordan made an impassioned push to become House speaker ahead of a Friday vote.
The House was scheduled to convene for Jordan's third try at the gavel later Friday morning in an effort to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Jordan has failed to win the 217 votes needed to claim the speaker's gavel in votes on Tuesday and Wednesday.But the holdouts, some of whom have received death threats, said they were unmoved. A third failed vote could prompt Jordan to drop out, which would clear the way for other candidates to emerge.
