'I just know that we need to get a speaker as soon as possible so we can get to work for the American people,' Jordan said prior to his third loss.
The House Republican Conference divided itself further today following a third failed vote on Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan's speakership candidacy, with the former Freedom Caucus chair suffering a 210-194-25 vote.With 25 Republicans declining to offer their support, Jordan lost the support of three additional Republicans, marking his greatest defeat to date. Tuesday saw Jordan lose the speakership by 22 votes, and on Monday, he missed out on the gavel by 20 votes.
However, conservative Republicans, many of whom are members of the hard right Freedom Caucus, oppose such a measure, demanding the party rally around their chosen leader in Jordan—despite many of those same members refusing to back Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise who had won the party's speaker nomination prior to Jordan.'We only had two votes,' Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said yesterday prior to Jordan announcing he would go through with a third vote.
