During his congressional career, he has played a vital role in the Republican Party, in Texas and nationally, including a decade in Party leadership,” Sessions wrote in a statement posted on X. It's been two weeks without a speaker, 10 days since an attack on Israel and just one month until another funding deadline looms. No one seems to be able to garner the support to become speaker with just GOP votes and the conference is bitterly divided.

Troy Nehls, who has supported Jordan, says his next vote will be for Trump

Here’s who has raised the most money and where it is coming from ahead of the 2022 California governor’s election. California voters will decide the fate of seven statewide propositions on Nov. 8. Of the seven statewide propositions on the ballot, gambling — unsurprisingly — has attracted the most lucre. A simple majority is required to pass all these propositions. California voters on Tuesday handed Democrat Gavin Newsom a second term as governor, choosing the incumbent over Republican Brian Dahle.

While Democrats have offered to broker a bipartisan deal to re-open the House, the Republican majority appears to have no idea how to end the political turmoil and get back to work. In fact, the Jordan lost rather than gained votes despite hours spent trying to win over holdouts, no improvement from the 20 and then 22 Republicans he lost in early rounds this week. The outcome left Republicans dejected, frustrated and sinking deeper into turmoil, another week without a House speaker bordering on a full-blown crisis. House Republicans have no realistic or working plan to unite the fractured GOP majority, elect a new speaker and return to the work of Congress that has been languishing since hard-liners ousted Kevin McCarthy at the start of the month.

Jordan also received an important nod Friday from the Republican Party’s campaign chairman, Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., who made an attempt to unify the fighting factions. In announcing his decision to withdraw from the nomination, Scalise declined to throw his support behind Jordan as the bitter rivalry deepened. “It’s got to be people that aren’t doing it for themselves,” he said late Thursday.

Biden may request $60 billion in aid to Ukraine and a total of $40 billion for Israel, Taiwan and the U.S.-Mexico border, people familiar with the matter said this week. Scalise — who recently dropped his bid to be House speaker one day after he captured the GOP’s nomination for the top job — was huddling moments ago with allies Reps. Steve Womack and Vern Buchanan. “I’ve seen Jim spend his entire career fighting for freedom, no matter what, no matter the odds, and I know he is ready for the job,” McCarthy said of Jordan’s bid for speaker. So far, six Republican have voted for someone other than Jordan, putting him a path to failing a third time.

Indiana Republican Reps. Jim Banks, Erin Houchin and Rudy Yakym all expressed support for Jordan ahead of Tuesday’s vote with posts on X, formerly Twitter. Banks quickly endorsed Jordan after the vote two weeks ago in which U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was ousted from the speaker's seat. The U.S. House remained without a speaker Tuesday afternoon as about 20 Republicans, including Indiana's Victoria Spartz, voted for candidates other than GOP nominee Jim Jordan of Ohio.

Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Scott Perry, R-Pa., two of Jim Jordan’s staunchest allies, criticized Jordan's opponents as having “indefensible” excuses. The House was called into session for the third round of voting on Jim Jordan for speaker of the House. After a quorum call, the House is moving on to the vote on Jim Jordan's candidacy for speaker. Majority Leader Steve Scalise is sitting far away from leadership again. "Over his 16 years in the House, he has never supported a farm bill," Clark said.

With Jordan out of the speaker's race, Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., told NBC News after the closed-door House GOP Conference that he plans to run for speaker. He concluded by arguing that his military experience made him "uniquely qualified" to determine the truth on the ground. McHenry, who's currently the interim House speaker, told reporters it's "not my intention" to run for the job. "I feel confident I can win the votes where others could not. I have no special interests to serve; I’m only in this to do what’s best for our Nation and to steady the ship for the 118th Congress," Bergman said in a statement. Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Mich., has thrown his hat in the ring, joining a growing list of Republicans who are running for speaker after the party dropped Jordan as its nominee.

Although Jeffries was able to accumulate more votes than Jordan, that doesn’t mean Jeffries wins the gavel. He would need to convince at least five Republicans to cross the aisle and cast their vote for the Democratic representative. Twenty Republicans voted against Jordan’s candidacy, far more than the handful he could afford to lose given the party’s narrow majority in Congress. First elected in 2006, Jordan has few bills to his name from his time in office. But when Scalise won the nomination to replace McCarthy, Jordan’s allies broke from party rules and blocked the Louisianan’s rise. Gaetz and the hardliners wanted to punish McCarthy for a number of perceived wrongs, including passing legislation with Democrats to keep the government funded and prevent a federal shutdown.

The freshman New York Republican told NBC News that he supported Jordan previously because he "felt he could unify the conference." Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., voted for Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., for the third time. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., voted for Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla.
