Jordan failed to get the 217 votes needed to lead the legislative body.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, listens after he was not successful in the first ballot, as Republicans try to elect him to be the new House speaker, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023. WASHINGTON, D. C. - Republicans in the House of Representatives voted behind closed doors Friday to remove conservative firebrand Jim Jordan as their speaker nominee after he couldn’t get backing from enough GOP colleagues to nail down the job.

Seeking time to win over skeptics, Jordan on Thursday backed a measure that would temporarily give Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry of North Carolina power to move legislation through the House of Representatives while Jordan nailed down the votes needed to win the job. That idea was sidelined after a closed door meeting where some Republicans said it would violate the Constitution.

Gimenez said they said they didn’t want anything from Jordan, but they weren’t going to support him. He said he would not succumb to pressure from Jordan’s supporters, who have been sending him texts that call him a RINO - Republican in name only - and said threats to spouses and children of Republicans who don’t back Jordan are “very offensive.”

Before Jordan could withdraw, though, House Republicans took another secret vote on Friday to remove Jordan as the conference’s speaker designee. Like Gimenez, many of Jordan’s detractors within the conference bristled at the hardball tactics that he and his supporters employed to try to whip the votes that would have made Jordan speaker.to contact perceived holdouts in an effort to convince them that opposing Jordan would enrage the MAGA base and trigger primary challengers.

“We must move forward.” Jordan wrote. “The role of a Speaker is to bring all Republicans together. That’s what I intend to do.”
