Description
Republicans have rejected congressman Jim Jordan for House speaker on the first ballot. More voting is expected Tuesday as the staunch ally of Donald Trump works to shore up support and seize the speaker's gavel. Clearly, not all Republicans are ready to elevate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jordan to the center seat of U.S. power, second in line to the presidency. Twenty Republicans voted against Jordan. Some are still upset over Kevin McCarthy's sudden ouster as speaker two weeks ago. With Trump's backing, a win for the Ohio congressman would show just how far the GOP’s once far-right flank has moved into the party’s mainstream.
