Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is now the latest House speaker nominee, decided in a vote by GOP lawmakers in Congress on Friday. The party's latest nominee comes less than a day after Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana dropped out of the race in a dramatic twist amid days of searching for someone to go up against Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the nominee for the Democrats.
The timing of the full House speaker vote has remained uncertain, and it will now likely be extended to sometime in the days to come. Lawmakers told Scripps News on Friday they would head home before returning on Monday for a possible speaker vote next week.
