"Jim Jordan's Failed Bid for House Speaker Highlights GOP Chaos"
TL;DR
Rep. Jim Jordan, a conservative ally of former President Donald Trump, fell short of reaching a majority on the House floor for the second time in his bid for the House speakership. Jordan received one fewer vote than on the previous ballot, with 22 Republicans voting against him. He is seeking to succeed Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted as speaker two weeks ago, and can only afford to lose four votes.
