House speaker vote: No House speaker elected in first round as Jordan falls short of threshold

Rep. Jim Jordan lost his first bid for the speakership. He received 200 votes, but needed at least 217 to clinch the gavel. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, nominated by Democrats, received 212 votes. Twenty lawmakers voted for someone else. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, toppled by a small group of GOP hard-liners on Oct. 3, voted for Jordan to be his successor. #politics #news #housespeaker https://6abc.com/jim-jordan-speakers-race-house-of-representatives-congress/13928276/
