"House GOP's Whirlwind Week Leaves Jordan Facing Grim Prospects in Speaker's Fight"

The House GOP is facing internal divisions and struggling to elect a new speaker, leaving the House in a state of paralysis. After the ouster of Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Jim Jordan became the new GOP speaker nominee but lacks the necessary votes to win. The GOP conference has been in chaos, with Majority Leader Steve Scalise dropping out of the race and Jordan facing resistance. The House remains frozen, posing challenges as Congress faces a government funding deadline and international crises. Republicans are frustrated and questioning if anyone can reach the required votes. Jordan has 48 hours to make phone calls and gain support before the full House vote.
