House GOP Still Divided Over Speaker Role After Jordan Nominated in Failed Floor Vote

House Republicans plan to hold another floor vote to elect a new speaker on Tuesday, two weeks after McCarthy was ousted.

Steve Scalise won a private ballot to be nominated but withdrew. Jim Jordan then won the nomination.

It's unclear if Jordan has the 217 votes needed to become speaker. 55 Republicans said they won't vote for him.

McCarthy now backs Jordan after initially wanting the role himself.

Trump endorsed Jordan early on, which could help or hurt his chances with different factions of the GOP.
