Setback for Conservative Republican

Rep. Jim Jordan falls short on first ballot for House Speaker position, leading to a deadlock with 20 opposing votes.

The Dissenting Faction

Key figures, like Granger, Diaz-Balart, Buck, and four New York Republicans, opposed Jordan, supporting others.

Turmoil in the House

Second week of intense turmoil following McCarthy's removal. A similarly sized faction could impede Jordan's ascent.

Jordan's Persistence

Jordan engages in discussions with GOP members, determined to secure the speakership. He's made significant progress in recent days.

Legislative Standstill

House remains in a standstill, unable to address critical matters due to the absence of a speaker. Urgency arises from McCarthy's stopgap spending agreement.

Unite for Progress

It's time for the GOP to unite behind a leader. Support Jim Jordan for House Speaker and let's get our work done.
