Jordan scraps plan for Speaker vote Thursday amid opposition: Live coverage
GOP Speaker nominee Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) scrapped plans to hold a third vote on Thursday as his opponents showed no signs of backing down.
Several left a meeting with the Ohio Republican Thursday vowing to maintain their resistance.
That meeting came after a push to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) hit a Republican wall, leaving the conference in largely the same position in which it started the day.
Jordan failed to win the gavel on the second ballot Wednesday, losing even more Republicans than on the first ballot Tuesday.
