"Republican Infighting: Gaetz, McCarthy, and Jordan Battle for Speaker Position"
TL;DR Summary
The House Republicans who ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy are facing the consequences of their actions, as their preferred replacement, Jim Jordan, lost another floor vote. Some dissenters are still upset about the treatment of McCarthy and Steve Scalise, while others believe Jordan is too extreme to be the party's frontman. Half of the Republicans in districts carried by President Biden in 2020 voted against Jordan.
