바카라 게임 웹사이트We're going to keep working,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Jordan said at the Capitol as evening fell.

It's been two weeks of angry Republican infighting since McCarthy's sudden removal by hard-liners, who are now within reach of a central seat of U.S. power. The vote for House speaker, once a formality in Congress, has devolved into another bitter showdown for the gavel.

Jordan said after the first vote that he was not surprised and expected to do better in the next round. But the afternoon dragged on with no further votes Tuesday.

바카라 게임 웹사이트We feel confident,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said, ducking into a leadership office. 바카라 게임 웹사이트We바카라 게임 웹사이트ve already talked to some members who are going to vote with us on the second ballot.바카라 게임 웹사이트

The tally, with 200 Republicans voting for Jordan and 212 for the Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, left no candidate with a clear majority, as 20 Republicans voted for someone else. With Republicans in majority control, Jordan must pick up most of his GOP foes to win.

The holdouts are a mix of pragmatists, 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.
