FILE PHOTO: WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 21: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan conducts a hearing where Special Counsel John Durham testified in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill on June 21, 2023 in Washington, DC.House Republicans are set to hold a full House floor vote Tuesday over whether to elect Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, as the next speaker of the House.
Jordan won the GOP’s nomination for speaker in a secret ballot on Friday, but a vote following the nomination showed that more than 50 Republicans would oppose Jordan on the floor,. That would leave Jordan, who is in his ninth term, well short of the 217 votes needed to win the speakership. However, since the Friday vote, Jordan has to pick up supporters and has garnered several surprising endorsements, including House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Alabama, Rep. Marc Molinaro, R-New York, and Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Missouri, who last week said she was a “hell no” after accusing Jordan of sabotaging her friend Steve Scalise’s bid for the gavel,Scalise, R-Louisiana, the majority leader, won the first Republican conference nomination vote for speaker last Wednesday.
In January, Rep. Kevin McCarthy needed 15 rounds of voting to get the number of votes he needed to become speaker. The voting goes on until someone wins.Police release new details in fatal shooting of 18-year-old Mariner High School student
