Republican Jim Jordan also failed in his second attempt to be elected Speaker of the US House of Representatives. Due to dissenting votes from his own group, the confidant of former US President Donald Trump once again failed to achieve the necessary majority in the vote on Wednesday. The 59-year-old did not receive the required number of votes in the first round of voting in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
Jordan received 199 votes from his group in Wednesday’s vote, one vote fewer than on Tuesday. It is unclear whether he will be able to win over enough skeptics from his own ranks.
For the time being, it will remain largely silent in the House of Representatives. Until a new chairman is appointed, legislative work there is largely at a standstill.
The Republicans only have a slim majority in the House of Representatives. The group currently has 221 seats in the parliamentary chamber, while the Democrats have 212 seats. Jordan can therefore afford very few deviations. He cannot count on support from the Democratic ranks. (sda/dpa)
