Jim Jordan loses second vote for House speaker, but vows to try again

LA Times  

Rep. Jim Jordan, center, talks with Rep. Kevin McCarthy and others at the Capitol on Wednesday before Jordan lost a second House vote to succeed McCarthy as speaker. All of the GOP lawmakers who voted against Jordan, a right-wing firebrand, backed more traditional Republicans, including former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana. After voting against Jordan, Rep. Mike Lawler told reporters that he did not “see the outcome changing” and that he would back giving McHenry more power as acting speaker. Rep. Steve Womack, who twice voted for Scalise, told reporters that more Jordan supporters were “certain” to defect if a third floor vote were called.
