Here are the 20 Republicans who voted against Jordan for Speaker

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the Republican nominee for Speaker, failed to get the necessary number of votes to win the gavel in the first round of voting on the House floor. 

Twenty Republicans withheld their support for Jordan, leaving the Ohio representative far short of the majority of the full House’s votes, which he would need to become Speaker. 

The final tally was 200 votes for Jordan; 212 votes for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), the Democrats’ nominee; seven votes for House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.); six votes for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.); and seven votes for other candidates.

Here are the 20 House Republicans who voted against Jordan.

1. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) voted for McCarthy.
2. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) voted for McCarthy.
3. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) voted for former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.).
4. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) voted for Scalise.
5. Rep. Jake Ellzey (R-Texas) voted for Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Calif.)
6. Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.) voted for Zeldin.
7. Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) voted for McCarthy.
8. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) voted for Scalise.
9. Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) voted for Scalise.
10. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) voted for Scalise
11. Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.) voted for McCarthy
12. Rep. Nick LaLota (R-N.Y.) voted for Zeldin.

14. Rep. John Rutherford (R-Fla.) voted for Scalise.
15. Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) voted for Scalise.
16. Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) voted for Scalise.
17. Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) voted for Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.)
18. Rep. John James (R-Mich.) voted for Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.)
19. Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) voted for McCarthy.
20. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) voted for Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)

Twenty defections from Jordan’s candidacy was a higher number than many anticipated. Before the vote, at least six GOP lawmakers signaled publicly that they did not intend to support Jordan on the first ballot: Bacon, Kelly, Gimenez, Lawler, Diaz-Balart and Buck.

Chavez-DeRemer said she was frustrated by the divide in the conference and noted McCarthy had more support than Jordan. She deflected a question on what she would need to hear from Jordan to support him, instead pledging to find a “consensus candidate.”

“Until somebody gets as many as Speaker McCarthy got, we’re going to be in this further divide. And I’m going to do everything I can within our conference to get a consensus candidate within the Republican Conference,” she said, adding that she thinks there are “lots of names that people can get behind.”

LaMalfa said he intends to support Jordan on the second ballot but that he voted for McCarthy as a sign of support for his friend, who he thought did a great job as Speaker. 

“I voted for Speaker Kevin McCarthy because this whole process has stumped the last 15 days. And I believe that he was leading us in a very, very good direction — and this is no dispersion on Jim Jordan, okay? I will vote for him, Jim, on the second ballot,” LaMalfa said. 

“But this is my long-term relationship and friendship and partnership with Kevin speaking there that I wanted to show him my support for how long this has been done to him, for the great work he’s done and leading us all this time, as well as with his majority leader and a Speaker for this,” he added.

Diaz-Balart has not changed his mind.

“I’m in the same place where I’ve been,” he said about withholding support for Jordan. “He and I have a great relationship. I have a great relationship with him, but I am where I’m at.”
