'I'm still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race,' Rep. Jim Jordan said.
After meeting with his fellow Republicans, Jordan told reporters he was abandoning the plan to empower McHenry and would press on with another vote on the House floor.'We made the pitch to members on the resolution as a way to lower the temperature and get back to work. We decided that wasn't where we're going to go,' he told reporters. Jordan said he is 'still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race.
' He added that he wants to 'talk with a few of my colleagues, particularly I want to talk with the 20 individuals who voted against me so that we can move forward and begin to work for the American people.'Reps. Matt Gaetz and Nicole Malliotakis predicted the House would reconvene for a third speaker's vote on Thursday.'The bottom line is that there are 20 people against him.
