WASHINGTON, D.C.: United States lawmakers rejected hardline conservative Jim Jordan's bid for speaker of the House of Representatives for a second time on Wednesday, as the leadership vacuum paralyzed Washington for a 15th day with no clear resolution in sight.
The lower chamber of Congress has been in a tailspin since Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California was ousted by his party's far right on October 3, leaving it unable to address a looming government shutdown or war in the Middle East.United States Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio talks to Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Patrick McHenry of North Carolina as the House of Representatives prepares to hold a second-round vote on a new speaker at the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023.
Jordan, an acolyte of scandal-engulfed Donald Trump, could only afford to lose four Republican votes, but 22 of his colleagues rejected his candidacy in the second ballot, two more than were against him a day earlier.The Israel-Hamas war, a renewed push for aid to Ukraine and the threat of a government shutdown have dramatically upped the stakes, with Republicans hoping the urgent need for Congress to respond would unite the fractured party.
