Chaos and ‍Discord Reign as Jim Jordan Loses Speaker Vote

Chaos, confusion, and, perhaps ‌most importantly of all, discord ⁤continued to reign supreme as the House of Representatives futilely tried to elect a new Speaker of ‌the House.

And exacerbating matters, Rep. Jim Jordan — the current frontrunner to take the speaker’s ‌gavel from the since-removed Kevin McCarthy — is actually losing votes on the House floor.

Even McCarthy’s ‌contentious floor vote in January never saw him lose Republican support over the course of multiple votes.

Jordan, meanwhile, has indeed lost support, which is an ignominious development for anyone hoping to see a speaker elected sooner than later.

The Ohio ⁤representative was 20 ‌votes shy of securing⁢ the speakership in the first attempt at⁣ being elected.

Today, Jordan‌ was 22 votes shy of securing the role of Speaker of the House.

Here are the 22 Republicans who voted against Jordan:

Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon voted for former speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Colorado Rep. Ken Buck voted for⁤ House Majority Whip Tom Emmer.
Florida Rep. Vern Buchanan voted for Florida⁣ Rep. Byron Donalds.
Oregon‍ Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer voted for McCarthy.
New York⁤ Rep. Anthony ⁣D’Esposito voted for former New York⁣ Rep. Lee Zeldin.
Florida Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart voted for Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise.
Texas Rep. Jake Ellzey voted for California Rep. Mike Garcia.
Georgia Rep. Drew Ferguson voted for Scalise.
New York Rep. Andrew Garbarino voted for Zeldin.
Florida Rep. Carlos Gimenez voted for McCarthy.
Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales ⁤voted for Scalise.
Texas ⁢Rep. Kay Granger voted for‌ Scalise.
Michigan Rep. John James voted for the⁢ Public Works Commissioner of Macomb ⁣County, Michigan, Candice Miller.
Pennsylvania⁣ Rep. Mike⁢ Kelly voted for former‌ speaker Jon Boehner.
Virginia Rep. Jan Kiggans voted for McCarthy.
New York Rep. Nick LaLota voted for Zeldin.
New York Rep. Mike Lawler voted for McCarthy.
Iowa Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks voted for Texas Rep. Kay Granger.
Florida Rep.⁢ John Rutherford ⁤voted for Scalise.
Idaho Rep.⁣ Mike Simpson voted for Scalise.
Minnesota Rep. Pete Stauber voted for Arkansas Rep. ‍Bruce Westerman.
Arkansas Rep. Steve Womack voted for Scalise.

Jordan’s loss ⁢of overall support comes despite the fact that the outspoken conservative had actually flipped two votes in his favor — meaning he actually lost four ⁢total ‌votes.

California Rep. Doug LaMalfa and Indiana Rep. Victoria Spartz both voted for Jordan this time around after originally voting for McCarthy and Kentucky Rep.‌ Thomas Massie, respectively.

Lawmakers are reportedly‍ scrambling for a contingency plan in the event Jordan continues to lose support.

How has⁢ Rep. Jim Jordan’s loss of support affected the search ⁣for a new Speaker of the House?

Chaos and discord have‍ taken hold ⁣of the House of Representatives as the search for a new Speaker of the House proves to be a futile endeavor. The frontrunner ⁢for ‌the position,‍ Rep. Jim Jordan, is surprisingly losing support on ⁤the House floor, a significant setback for those hoping for a swift election.

In comparison, when Kevin McCarthy faced ‌a contentious floor vote⁢ in January, he did not lose any Republican support throughout the process. However,‍ Jordan ⁢has experienced a loss of support, which is a ‌disappointing development for those eager to see a new speaker elected.

During the first attempt at electing a speaker, Jordan fell short by 20 votes. In⁢ the most recent vote, he was 22 votes⁢ away from securing the role of Speaker of ⁤the⁢ House. ‍This defeat showcases a notable setback ‌for Jordan’s campaign.

The article goes on to list the 22 Republicans who voted against Jordan, highlighting the diverse range of representatives who⁤ opted for different candidates. An interesting observation is that Jordan⁤ actually gained ⁣two votes in his ⁢favor from⁣ lawmakers who⁢ had initially voted for other candidates.‌ However, this was overshadowed by the loss of four votes, resulting in a net loss for⁣ Jordan.

Lawmakers are now reportedly scrambling for a contingency‍ plan in case‌ Jordan continues ⁤to⁢ lose support. The search for a ⁤new Speaker of the House remains elusive and uncertain.

In conclusion, chaos and discord continue to ‌prevail in the House of Representatives as the attempt to elect a new‌ Speaker of ‍the⁢ House remains ⁣unsuccessful.‍ The unexpected ‌loss of support for‌ Rep. Jim Jordan has highlighted the ‌challenges faced⁤ in the quest‌ for⁢ a new leader. The article emphasizes the need for⁤ a contingency plan as the search for a‍ new speaker ⁢continues.
