House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan failed to receive enough votes Friday to become the next Speaker of the House during the third round of voting.
After the third round of votes, Jordan was shy of the necessary 214 to win the Speakership. The final quorum call put the House attendance at 427, meaning 214 remains the majority threshold unless members voted “present” during the roll call vote for Speaker.
The Daily Caller first reported that former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy would give Jordan’s nomination speech on the House floor before the vote. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Kevin McCarthy To Give Nominating Speech For Jim Jordan Before Third Speaker Vote)
