Firebrand Republican Rep. Jim Jordan loses support from more GOP colleagues as he fails to become House speaker.

Growing opposition to Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for Speaker of the House has sparked calls to empower Rep. Patrick McHenry with new powers to get the House operational again. McHenry, who currently oversees the chamber as Speaker Pro Tempore, would be faced with challenges such as government spending fights and ongoing cryptocurrency efforts. The idea has gained support from prominent conservative figures, including three former GOP House speakers, and Democrats have also expressed support for expanding McHenry's authorities. However, the proposal faces challenges from Jordan and his allies, and the extent and duration of McHenry's powers are still up for debate.

Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan is confident he will secure the necessary votes to be elected speaker of the House, despite facing opposition from some members of his own party.

Multiple votes may be held to elect a speaker, as happened in January when Kevin McCarthy won after 15 ballots. Jordan and his allies are pressing House GOP members to vote for him, arguing that the chamber needs a speaker to begin moving legislation again.
