After thirteen rounds of voting the chair of the Speaker of the House still sits empty on the dais of the U.S. House of Representatives on the fourth day of the 118th Congress at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., January 6, 2023. REUTERS/Evelyn HockstWASHINGTON -Hardline conservative Jim Jordan vowed to continue his floundering bid for speaker of the U.S.
He then met with some of the holdouts, though Jordan opponents emerged from the meeting saying their minds had not been changed. House Democrats and the White House have said they are open to that idea, but many Republicans rejected it."At this point, we're not going to have any kind of other resolution on this," said Republican Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer.Democratic President Joe Biden is expected to ask Congress in a primetime Thursday night speech to approve as much as $60 billion for Ukraine and $10 billion for Israel.
One of those, Representative Drew Ferguson, said in a statement on Thursday:"The House Republican Conference does not need a bully as the speaker." While McCarthy was the first speaker in U.S. history to be voted out by his caucus, the last two Republicans to hold the job also left office early under pressure from the right.
