Some House Republicans used Jordan's impassioned speech for McCarthy as a reason why the GOP should choose Jordan over McCarthy for speaker of the House.
On Tuesday, McCarthy suffered a rare defeat, not just once but twice as he failed to gain the necessary 218 votes required to be elected the speaker of the House. His failure in whipping his caucus into line marked the first time in a century that a speaker was not elected on a first ballot.

In the second ballot, the same 19 House Republicans still voted against McCarthy. But this time around, they all voted for Jordan instead. Now, the matter over who will be the next speaker is headed to a third ballot.
