He could not afford to lose four votes from his Republican counterparts. However, he still met the threshold of 218 for speaker. All members of both parties were present at voting and were eligible to vote. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-AZ, was present and voting ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s first ballot. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2023\/01\/03\/new-congress-livewire-republicans-take-over-house-speakership-election-decide-who-will-lead-chamber\/\">nominated<\/a>\u00a0Rep.

However, all 212 Democrat members voted in favor of Rep. Hakeem Jefries (D\u2013NY). Biggs won ten votes as the GOP was fractured. Six more voted in support of Rep. Jim Jordan, who will nominate McCarthy on the next ballot. Each vote was cast for Reps. Jim Banks and Byron Donalds (both R-OH), as well as former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-NY).<\/p>\n<p>A second vote was held for the first time in almost 100 years. It produced identical results for Jeffries &#038; McCarthy. However, all Republican members opposed to McCarthy consolidated behind Jordan, giving him 20 votes. The House was forced to go to a third vote because no candidate had received a majority. The results of the third ballot were nearly unchanged except for Donalds (a McCarthy supporter) who flipped his support to Jordan. The House moved to adjourn after the third vote. On Wednesday, the chaos will resume.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22958873\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jordan_mccarthy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22958873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jordan_mccarthy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">U.S. Rep.

The reporter did not give any details about the source of the calls.<\/p>\n<p>Trump compared the speakership power struggle to 2015. He was speaking with Boyle last week, and he compared it to 2015, when Republicans landed with former Speaker Paul Ryan as the leader position after removing former Speaker John Boehner. He described it as &#8220;a very difficult situation.&#8221; \u201cvery dangerous game that\u2019s being played.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a very dangerous game that\u2019s being played,\u201d Trump stated. \u201cIt\u2019s a very dangerous game. Some bad things could happen. Look, we had Boehner and he was a strange person but we ended up with Paul Ryan who was ten times worse. Paul Ryan was an incompetent speaker. I think he goes down as the worst speaker in history. We took [out] Boehner\u2014and a group of people, some of whom are the same, and they\u2019re very good friends of mine.
