Rep. Jim Jordan failed to win the speakership on the first full vote of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, with another round of voting scheduled for Wednesday as the chamber looks to elect a leader.
Jordan, who was selected as the speaker-designee by the GOP House conference last week, only garnered 200 votes in the first ballot on Tuesday, losing 20 Republicans and having one of his supporters absent. With all 221 House Republicans expected to be in attendance on Wednesday, Jordan can only afford to lose four votes to get to the necessary 217 majority to be elected.
If Jordan loses votes in the next ballot, it could doom his candidacy for House speaker, leading the House Republican conference to have to find another House speaker candidate.If Jordan is unable to secure the speakership after voting on Wednesday in either one round or multiple rounds, there may be pressure for the Ohio Republican to bow out of the speakership battle.
