"Republicans Criticize Proposal to Empower Temporary Speaker in Live House Speaker Vote"

After being rejected twice, Rep. Jim Jordan is set to face a third floor vote for House speaker, although the timing is uncertain. Jordan, a conservative and Trump loyalist, needs to secure 217 votes to win. Meanwhile, House Republicans are in disarray, with discussions about a temporary speaker plan falling apart and some conservatives opposing the idea. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy shouted at Rep. Matt Gaetz during a closed-door meeting, and the meeting is ongoing as Jordan reevaluates his campaign after talking to critics.
