McCarthy Backs Jordan for Speaker, But House Remains Deadlocked
- McCarthy supports Jordan for Speaker, calling him a "great ally"
- Jordan was nominated by House Republicans on Friday before they recessed
- Jordan received 152 votes in the secret ballot, beating Scott but falling short of 217 needed
- Some Republicans strongly oppose Jordan, saying he can't get enough votes
- With no Speaker, the House can't vote on legislation; McCarthy initially said he wouldn't run again
