20 House Republicans Decline to Vote for Jim Jordan for Speaker

Twenty House Republicans on Tuesday declined to vote to make Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) the next Speaker of the House.

“With Jordan supporter Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) absent, Jordan could not lose more than three Republicans on his quest to receive the necessary 217 votes. Bilirakis is expected back in Washington on Tuesday evening,” Breitbart News’s Bradley Jaye wrote.
