After Rep. Jim Jordan lost his third bid at becoming speaker of the House and more Republicans voted against the Ohio congressman, congressional Republicans decided Friday afternoon not to back Jordan for a potential fourth ballot. Without a speaker, the House has been unable to consider legislation.
Heading into Friday, Jordan remained the Republicans' speaker-designee. On Wednesday, he was 18 votes shy of becoming the new speaker as 22 Republicans voted for other candidates. On Friday, 25 Republicans voted for someone other than Jordan, indicating he was losing support among members. He could only afford to have four members vote for someone else in order to get a majority.
Prior to the vote, Jordan told reporters Friday he still believed he could change the minds of members who haven't supported him.
