"Jim Jordan's Speaker Bid Falters as GOP Turns to McHenry"

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan plans to seek a third vote in his bid to become Speaker of the House, reversing an earlier plan for a lengthy campaign. Jordan will consult with his wife and the 20 members who voted against him on the first ballot. The decision comes after a failed attempt to vote on a resolution to empower McHenry to bring legislation to the floor until January, which was met with strong opposition from conservatives. Some members had hoped McHenry could oversee votes on spending bills or a short-term funding measure to avoid a government shutdown.
