Republican Rep. Jim Jordan failed again Wednesday on a crucial second ballot to become House speaker, the hard-fighting ally of Donald Trump losing even more GOP colleagues who are refusing to give him the gavel.

Next steps were highly uncertain as angry, frustrated lawmakers looked at other options. A bipartisan group of lawmakers floated an extraordinary plan 바카라 게임 웹사이트 to give the interim speaker-pro-tempore, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., more power to reopen the immobilized House and temporarily conduct routine business.

What was clear was that Jordan's path to become House speaker was almost certainly lost. He was opposed by 22 Republicans, two more than he lost in first round voting the day before.

The House came to another abrupt standstill, stuck now 15 days without a speaker, a position of power second in line to the presidency, since the sudden ouster of Kevin McCarthy. Republicans are upset and exhausted by the infighting, the vote for House speaker once a formality in Congress having devolved into another bitter showdown for the gavel.

Ahead of the morning vote, Jordan, the combative Judiciary Committee chairman, made an unusual plea for party unity.

바카라 게임 웹사이트We바카라 게임 웹사이트ve been at this two weeks,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Jordan said at the Capitol, almost daring his colleagues to put forward the alternative proposal. 바카라 게임 웹사이트American people deserve to have their government functioning. Let바카라 게임 웹사이트s get an answer.바카라 게임 웹사이트

But as the rollcall got underway, he lost more than he gained, picking up three backers, but facing more detractors.

The holdouts added to a surprisingly large and politically diverse group of 20 Republicans who had rejected Jordan's nomination the day before, many resenting the hardball tactics seeking to enforce support, and viewing the Ohio congressman as too extreme for the powerful position of House speaker, second in line to the presidency.

With Republicans in majority control 221-212, Jordan must pick up most of his GOP foes to win. Wednesday's tally, with 199 Republicans voting for Jordan and 212 for Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, left no candidate with a clear majority, as the 22 Republicans voted for someone else.

Bipartisan groups of lawmakers have been floating ways to operate the House by giving greater power to McHenry or another temporary speaker. The House had never ousted its speaker before McCarthy.

The novel concept of boosting the interim speaker's role was gaining favor with a pair of surprising high-profile Republicans: Former GOP speakers Newt Gingrich and John Boehner.

Gingrich said while he likes Jordan, he has 바카라 게임 웹사이트no faith바카라 게임 웹사이트 the nominee can get much beyond the 200 votes he won in the first vote.

He said that Jordan was 바카라 게임 웹사이트not a shrinking violet바카라 게임 웹사이트 but someone who could lead the House.

Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar noted that Jeffries continues to win more votes and is the best choice to move the country forward.

바카라 게임 웹사이트The country cannot afford more delays and more chaos,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Aguilar said.

Jordan had relied on Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s backing and oustide groups, but it was not enough.

Flexing their independence, the holdouts are a mix of pragmatists 바카라 게임 웹사이트 ranging from seasoned legislators and committee chairs worried about governing, to newer lawmakers from districts where voters back home prefer President Joe Biden to Trump.

Jordan has been a top Trump ally, particularly during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by the former president바카라 게임 웹사이트s backers who were trying to overturn the 2020 election he lost to Biden. Days later, Trump awarded Jordan a Medal of Freedom.

Congress faces daunting challenges, risking a federal shutdown at home if it fails to fund the government and fielding Biden's requests for aid to help Ukraine and Israel in the wars abroad.
