Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has so far failed to clinch the House speakership in two rounds of voting.
On Tuesday, 20 Republicans voted against his candidacy – far more than the handful he could afford to lose given the party’s narrow majority in Congress. Jordan – or any other GOP speaker candidate – can only afford to lose four Republican votes if all members are present and voting on the floor. A speaker needs a majority of the full House to be elected. The congressman fared worse in a Wednesday vote, with 22 Republicans voting against him.
