Jim Jordan went into today's vote for the next Speaker of the House knowing that at least twelve of his Republican colleagues were unlikely to support him in the first round of voting. As it turned out, twenty members of the GOP conference threw their support behind undeclared candidates.

Here's the breakdown.

Votes for Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the ousted Speaker of the House:

Votes for Rep. Steve Scalise, who removed himself from the speaker's race last week:

Votes for Lee Zeldin, former member of Congress:

Votes for Rep. Mike Garcia:

Votes for Rep. Tom Emmer:

Votes for Rep. Tom Cole:

Votes for Rep. Thomas Massie:

The House is in recess until the next round of voting is called. Jordan and his allies are, presumably, meeting with the holdouts in an effort to seal the deal on the second ballot. This may be a tall order, as some GOP members, like Marianne Miller-Meeks (R-IA), have indicated that their support for Jordan is weak, and they may change their votes in coming rounds of voting.

The House has been without a speaker since October 3, 2023.
