That temporary solution could also buy more time for Jordan to line up support for the job after that point. "I think it gets more and more difficult for him every day," said Republican Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, who opposes Jordan. Jordan, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, could be in trouble if more Republicans vote against him in a second ballot. At least one Republican who voted against him on Tuesday, Representative Doug LaMalfa, said he would vote for Jordan on the second ballot. 3 House Republican.

Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) appeared likely to again fall short of the votes needed to be elected House speaker in a second ballot Wednesday, prompting lawmakers to more seriously consider other avenues for breaking the impasse that has paralyzed the chamber. More than two weeks after former House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was ousted, Republicans remained gripped in a fierce internal struggle over who to elect to lead them. Jordan, a favorite of the party’s populist wing but viewed skeptically by centrist and GOP establishment lawmakers, lost 20 Republican votes in the first ballot Tuesday afternoon, exceeding the handful of defections he can afford in the narrowly divided House with all Democrats opposed.

Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy speaks to reporters as he walks to the House Chambers in the Capitol on October 18, 2023 in Washington, DC. Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesFormer Speaker Kevin McCarthy argued interim Speaker Patrick McHenry already has the powers that some in the anti-Jim Jordan crowd want him to have. “I think you shouldn't have to do a resolution, that McHenry can carry this on as we elect Jim Jordan our speaker,” he said. “We're going in, we want to elect Jim Jordan, and if Jim's numbers drop, it's a lot of that is due to Gaetz’s email that he put out last night,” said McCarthy. Going after Republicans that would work with anything with Democrats when he did all this to us?

The House is due to hold a second vote to fill the vacant speaker's chair when it convenes at 11 a.m. It is not clear whether Jordan, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, will fare better in a second vote. At least one Republican who voted against him on Tuesday, Representative Doug LaMalfa, said he would vote for Jordan on the second ballot. "He's the only viable candidate we have," Republican Representative Thomas Massie told reporters. Democrats, meanwhile, are pressing for a bipartisan compromise that could result in more powers for Republican Representative Patrick McHenry, who is acting as temporary speaker.

Jim Jordan failed again to win enough votes to be elected House speaker, as divisions hardened for House Republicans, with some lawmakers pursuing new paths to break the impasse that has paralyzed the chamber. More than two weeks after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) was ousted, Republicans remained gripped in a fierce internal struggle over his successor. Jordan said he would keep up his campaign, but pushed off any further voting until Thursday at the earliest as mounting GOP defections on his second ballot left Republicans snarled into warring factions over what should happen next.

Rep. Jim Jordan listens after he was not successful in the first ballot, as Republicans try to elect him to be the new House speaker, at the Capitol on Oct. 17. Photo: Alex Brandon/Associated PressJim Jordan has tried hard to propitiate Republican skeptics of his bid for Speaker of the House, and he could have won Tuesday while losing four votes. Instead it was 20 on the first ballot. After two weeks of House paralysis, it’s no clearer who can pull Republicans back together. Mr. Jordan was still seeking votes by our deadline, but if he falls short, perhaps the solution, for now, is to empower acting Speaker Patrick McHenry .

Opinion | Jim Jordan Is a Lousy Strongman
  + stars: | 2023-10-18 | by ( Michelle Cottle | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Mr. Jordan clearly fancies himself more of a Trumpian strongman. And not to be indelicate, but do Republicans really want people thinking all that hard about Mr. Jordan’s wrestling baggage? Mr. Jordan attempted a different route to the top. But his leverage and influence, like so many hard-liners’, largely derive from being a creature of Mr. Trump. Mr. Jordan may consider himself a powerful figure.

Six members of the Champaign County Preservation Alliance were touring the picturesque downtown in Urbana, the central Ohio town where Representative Jim Jordan has made his mark as a state champion wrestler, an aspiring politician and now a member of Congress. As they watched his attempt to end the tortured efforts to choose a new House speaker, the uncompromising figure he casts nationally is much the same as seen back home in the heavily gerrymandered, largely Republican, Fourth Congressional District that snakes and loops through hundreds of miles of mainly small towns and farmland. The district is much whiter and slightly poorer, less educated and older than the state at large. It went for Donald Trump in 2020 by nearly a 36 percentage point margin. Amanda McDaniel, a member of the preservation alliance, is rooting for Jordan’s speaker bid — seeing in him the same principles she holds.

CNN —Rep. Jim Jordan’s speaker bid is in peril as the Ohio Republican confronts steep opposition from members of his own party, raising serious questions over whether he can flip enough holdouts to win the gavel. ET Wednesday in what could be a pivotal moment for Jordan’s candidacy that will show whether he is losing or gaining support. But it’s not clear if Jordan has a viable path forward in the race amid the deep divisions within the House GOP conference and the resistance he faces. Uncertainty over Jordan’s candidacy threatens to prolong the state of paralysis the House is currently stuck in. Scalise initially defeated Jordan inside the GOP conference to become the speaker nominee, but later dropped out of the race amid opposition to his candidacy.

PoliticsJim Jordan loses first US House speaker votePostedCombative right-wing Republican Jim Jordan on Tuesday sought more time to build support for his bid for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after coming up short in a first vote, raising questions about his prospects for winning the job. Gabe Singer reports.

To win the gavel, Jordan must win a majority of the House. With the chamber split 221 Republicans to 212 Democrats, he can only spare four Republican defections, assuming he gets no support from Democrats.

Jordan's bid to become speaker appeared to be in deep trouble Wednesday, after he failed to secure the gavel by a wider margin than expected in the Tuesday vote. On that ballot, 20 Republicans publicly voted against the Judiciary Committee chairman, and 200 voted for him. Jordan's second bid already appeared doom to fail early Wednesday afternoon with at least nine Republicans voting against him so far, more than the congressman can afford to lose. Other Republicans voted for Lee Zeldin, who left Congress in January. "By empowering Patrick McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore we can take care of our ally Israel until a new Speaker is elected."

Hardline Republicans axed Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the man who spent years orchestrating his rise to become House speaker, after he relied on Democrats to help pass a short-term funding bill to keep the government open last month. When McCarthy got the boot, McHenry was elevated to become the powerless temporary speaker – known as speaker pro tempore – able to keep the House in session but not to pass any legislation. The mechanism for such an arrangement could be a simple resolution giving McHenry the temporary power to move appropriations legislation. I asked her by email about why having a temporary speaker would be appealing, and she suggested it’s not a good option, but maybe the least bad option in the face of an institutional leadership crisis. In fact, Postell predicted an even more partisan atmosphere if the House speaker was to permanently become a less powerful position.

Morning Bid: US growth topping China as megacaps report

A street sign for Wall Street hangs in front of the New York Stock Exchange May 8, 2013. The combination of high-pressure growth and U.S. crude oil prices back up to their highest in two weeks has re-ignited inflation concerns. And with a 20-year Treasury bond auction also due later in the day, bond markets are back running scared. Two-year Treasury yields hit their highest since 2006 on Tuesday at 5.24% and held most of those gains overnight - while 20-year yields are hovering around 5.2% as well.

In Ohio, Jordan is a hometown boy whose Ohio State University wrestling coach title, conservative policies and never-say-die persona on Capitol Hill have earned him more devotion than he's currently receiving in Congress. It was a common theme on a cloudy fall day in downtown Urbana, Ohio — an oasis of cafes and antique stores in the sprawling, rich farmland that makes up most of Jordan’s district. Sherry Vaught, a Democratic mayoral candidate in Mansfield, had harsh criticism for the Ohio congressman as his possible speakership looms. JD Knopp, an 18-year-old resident of Mechanicsburg, Ohio just outside Urbana, said he thinks Jordan will make a great leader for a divided Republican party. Whether Jordan becomes speaker won't affect his opinion, but it might change how he views those who keep the congressman from winning the speakership.

Representative Jim Jordan, the hard-line Republican from Ohio, lost a second bid for speaker on Wednesday after running headlong into opposition from a group of mainstream G.O.P. Mr. Jordan said he would keep fighting to secure the majority of votes he needs to become speaker, and spent much of Wednesday afternoon meeting with some of the holdouts. But it was clear after the second ballot that there was no immediate end in sight to the stalemate that has left the House leaderless and in turmoil after two weeks of Republican infighting. Republicans adjourned the House on Wednesday evening and were set to reconvene at noon on Thursday to find a way forward. But Republicans were divided even on doing that, with some Jordan loyalists arguing that it would set a damaging precedent.

Amanda McDaniel, a member of the preservation alliance, is rooting for Jordan’s speaker bid — seeing in him the same principles she holds. It is not an approach that builds consensus — a previous Republican speaker to brand him a “legislative terrorist” — even as he has steadily parlayed it into political success. Mr. Jordan embraced right-wing populism long before the Tea Party or Donald Trump made into a national force. Eric Forson, 50, said that when he wrote to his elected representatives during the 2013 government shutdown, Mr. Jordan was the only one who responded. Ms. Esch and her husband, Mike, 57 were both hopeful that Mr. Jordan would drum up the votes needed to take the speaker role on Wednesday.

Steel Supports Extremism,” the billboard reads. “Stop the extremism.”The advertising campaign, paid for by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, is part of a broad effort by Democrats to target Republicans like Ms. Steel, who represent congressional districts that President Biden won in 2020. lawmakers have stood on the House floor this week and cast their votes to put Mr. Jordan second in line to the presidency. Another group, the Congressional Integrity Project, began a digital ad campaign this week in those same districts, focusing on Mr. Jordan and his attempts to overthrow the 2020 election. “Every House Republican who votes for Jim Jordan to be speaker of the House should be held accountable for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, his role in the Jan. 6 fake electors plot, and his continued attacks on our democracy,” said Kyle Herrig, the executive director of the advocacy organization.

The vote for House speaker, once a formality in Congress, has devolved into another bitter showdown for the gavel. Bipartisan groups of lawmakers have been floating ways to operate the House by giving greater power to the interim speaker, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., or another temporary speaker. The House had never ousted its speaker before McCarthy, and the lawmakers are in rarely tested terrain. “We can’t sit around and suck our thumbs and hope the world will wait until the House Republicans get their act together,” Gingrich told Fox News' Sean Hannity on his show. “Jim Jordan will be a great speaker,” the former president said outside a courthouse in Manhattan, where he is facing business fraud charges.

With Rep. Jim Jordan's candidacy for House speaker in doubt Wednesday, a growing number of Republicans and Democrats were coalescing around a plan to formally elect Rep. Patrick McHenry as speaker pro tempore, to allow Congress to perform basic functions. Jordan lost his first ballot for speaker on Tuesday, with 20 Republicans and all Democrats voting against him. The House is scheduled to consider Jordan for speaker again at 11 a.m. The House has been without a speaker for two weeks, following the ouster of GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California spurred by a small bloc of right-wing Republicans. Congress is facing a Nov. 17 deadline to craft and pass a spending bill to keep the federal government from shutting down.
