The House remains frozen after lawmakers again failed to elect a new speaker, with no clear resolution in sight.

Republicans nominated Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, for the speakership Tuesday on the House floor, but the Ohio Republican failed to garner the near-unanimous support – 217 votes – he needed to become speaker. And the scene played out again Wednesday, as Jordan failed a second floor vote with holdouts standing their ground.

Twenty-two GOP lawmakers voted against Jordan’s speakership on Wednesday, an increase from the 20 that opposed him Tuesday.
