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.
