Ohio Representative Jim Jordan failed to capture the Speaker’s gavel during a third round of voting. James Callan Associates CEO James Callan said Jordan lost support throughout the week. “He was at 194 votes in his third attempt, but he was at 200 votes on his first attempt.” House Republicans voted to drop Jordan as their speaker nominee after a closed-door meeting Friday afternoon. Whoever is selected as the next speaker will have a full plate. “There’s the continuing resolution to be dealt with, funding for Israel and Ukraine and the next farm bill, which are all tall orders for the next House Speaker.”
