1:00Now PlayingRepublican Jim Jordan’s hardball tactics cost him votes Tuesday in his campaign to be US House speaker as 20 GOP holdouts withheld support from the ultra-conservative backed by former President Donald Trump.
The vote pushed the chamber into more chaos, with lawmakers unable to conduct any business since House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s Oct. 3 ouster despite an impending government shutdown next month and an escalating war in the Middle East.
The Ohio Republican said he plans to press forward in his bid, with another vote on his candidacy later Tuesday. But Jordan, a hardliner known for his bombastic personality and insurgent tactics, lost far more Republican votes on the first ballot than the eight or 10 some GOP lawmakers projected, calling into question his viability as a candidate.
