Jim Jordan says he plans to seek a third ballot in his bid to become Speaker of the House., R-Ohio, says he will move ahead with a plan to hold a third vote in his bid to become Speaker of the House, reversing an earlier plan for a lengthy campaign.
Jordan could seek a vote as early as Thursday but he told reporters he needs to consult with his wife and speak with the 20 members who voted against him on the first ballot earlier this week. The decision comes after a nearly four-hour closed door meeting that was originally intended to focus a plan to vote on a resolution to empower McHenry to bring legislation to the floor until January. Some members had hoped McHenry could oversee votes on spending bills or a short-term funding measure to avoid a government shutdown. Current government funding expires on Nov. 17.Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind.
"It's the biggest FU to Republican voters I've ever seen," Banks told reporters."That is a historic betrayal to our Republican voters if we go along with it. It's a big mistake.""We need a speaker," he said."I do believe there are other folks in the room there that can get 217 ."
