As of Thursday, the US House of Representatives remained without a leader, primarily due to the ongoing turmoil within the Republican Party. Jim Jordan, an ultra-conservative congressman from Ohio and the Republican's embattled nominee for the role of House Speaker, continued to press for a third vote on his candidacy. This persistence comes despite the absence of a clear path forward and mounting frustration at his refusal to withdraw.
The House Republican conference was slated for a closed-door meeting on Thursday, with no official voting schedule in place for the day. Jim Jordan, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump who spearheaded efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, now heads the House Judiciary Committee and is steadfast in his determination to remain in the race, even in the face of growing opposition.
Notably, the former House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, was removed from his position in a historic 216-210 vote on October 3rd. This marked the first instance in US history where the House voted to oust its leader.
