The House is set to hold a vote Tuesday to fill the vacant Speaker role, but it appears GOP nominee Jim Jordan (Ohio) doesn’t have the votes — at least not on the first ballot.
Jordan gained some major momentum Monday, picking up endorsements from four key players who had initially said they would not vote for him: House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (Ala.), along with Reps. Ann Wagner (Mo.), Ken Calvert (Calif.) and Vern Buchanan (Fla.).
But at least six Republicans said Monday they did not intend to vote for Jordan on the floor — enough to keep him from the securing the gavel, assuming every member of the House votes — and others remained coy about their plans.
The vote is expected to take place at noon EDT.
