After Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) forced a third vote on his speakership and lost worse than he did last round, House Republicans met for a conference meeting where they voted on whether Jordan should remain the nominee. The ballot was secret and members voted “yes,” “no” or “present” to determine Jordan’s fate.
Jordan lost the vote 112 to 86.
There are no more votes expected this week and the House will come back into session on Monday with a vote on Tuesday. Candidates will have the weekend to put together their bids, and have to announce to the conference by noon Sunday.
