Jim Jordan's Speaker Bid Falters as Republican Support Wanes
TL;DR Summary
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan failed for the third time to win the speaker's gavel, facing increased opposition from within his own party. In the latest vote, 25 House Republicans voted against Jordan, a higher number than in previous rounds. Despite the mounting pressure and no clear path to victory, Jordan remains defiant and vows to continue his campaign. The prolonged speaker election has left the House in a state of paralysis, with no elected speaker and important issues at stake. The battle for the speakership has also highlighted the limits of former President Donald Trump's influence.
