Jordan's Failed Speakership Bid Sparks Calls for Unity and Reflection
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan calls for unity among colleagues after failing to secure enough votes for the Speakership. Jordan received 200 votes on the first ballot, falling short of the necessary 217 votes. A second Speakership vote is scheduled for Wednesday morning. Despite losing 20 GOP votes, Jordan remains confident and is determined to continue seeking support. The House has been without a Speaker for two weeks after eight Republicans joined Democrats in ousting former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
