Jim Jordan (R-OH) fails again to be elected speaker, Republicans must decide whether to immediately move to vote to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-NC) for some period of time or whether to recess and hold a closed House Republican Conference meeting, Punchbowl News reports.
CNN reports Jordan’s allies are pushing hard against empowering McHenry because he wants to keep fighting to become speaker himself.
