Jordan's vote total of 199 was less than the 200 Republican votes he secured on Tuesday.
"It's just painfully obvious that what a lot of our people want to do we can't do," said Republican Representative Steve Womack, who voted against Jordan.
That idea has been floated by Republicans and Democrats, as well as two former Republican speakers, Newt Gingrich and John Boehner.
He simply tells you straight up," Republican Representative Tom Cole said as he nominated Jordan for speaker ahead of the vote.
Republicans who opposed Jordan voted for 10 different candidates, including Boehner and two others who no longer serve in Congress.
