Republicans Fail to Elect Jim Jordan as House Speaker on First Ballot


800px Jim Jordan 6871639121(Worthy News) – House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) failed to grasp the speaker’s gavel during the first round of voting Tuesday.

More voting is expected as Jordan works to shore up support to replace the ousted Kevin McCarthy for the job that’s third in line to the presidency.

Jordan scrambled unsuccessfully to shore up the votes needed to clinch the speakership in the closely divided chamber. With the House Republican majority narrowly held at 221-212, the Ohio Republican could only afford to lose only a few votes to reach the 217 majority threshold. But 20 Republicans voted against him, well more than the three he could spare to win the speakership. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
