Aside from McCarthy and Jordan, Republicans have also rejected their No. That plan would give more authority to Republican Representative Patrick McHenry, who is filling the speaker's chair on a temporary basis. He helped to engineer government shutdowns in 2013 and 2018 and helped to push Republican Speaker John Boehner into retirement in 2015. Jordan's vote total of 194 was less than McCarthy netted in 15 grueling rounds of voting in January. Jordan's Republican opponents declined to celebrate in the wake of his defeat.

Republicans control the House by a narrow 221-212 margin, and all Democrats are expected to vote against him. At least seven Republicans are expected to vote against Jordan, which would leave him short of the 217 votes he needs. "Jim is a tough person and is going to almost prosecute our conservative agenda through America," said Republican Representative Mark Alford. Should Jordan's bid for speaker stall, Republican rivals have identified several alternative candidates, including McHenry, who is presiding over the speaker vote, and No. 3 House Republican Tom Emmer.

Twenty Republicans voted for Jordan - fewer than a tenth of those backing McCarthy, but enough to stop his progress. The House recessed after three votes without giving McCarthy the House majority he needed on Tuesday and adjourned until noon ET (1700 GMT) on Wednesday to try again. A champion wrestler in high school and college before becoming a college coach, Jordan denied the accusations and thrived in Congress. In 2011, with a newly installed Republican majority in the House, Jordan made President Barack Obama's life miserable by demanding deep budget cuts opposed by Democrats. With then-Speaker John Boehner maneuvering to bring a similar bill to a vote in the House, Jordan told Reuters at a key moment that it was dead.
