Rep. Jim Jordan Withdraws from House Speaker Race after Failing in Third Vote

Despite support from GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, Jordan's bid for Speaker is thwarted by intra-party disagreements and confrontations.

Rep. Jim Jordan has withdrawn from the House Speaker race after failing to secure enough votes in the third round, despite gaining the support of GOP leader Kevin McCarthy.
Jordan's withdrawal came amidst intra-party disagreements and confrontations which proved decisive in his unsuccessful bid.
Despite Jordan's bully tactics, his aggressive approach backfired, provoking threats and harassment from fellow Republicans.
McCarthy nominated Jordan in the third round of voting, after Jordan fell short in the second round.
Jordan had shown support for an alternate plan to empower an interim speaker, notably Rep. Patrick McHenry, which eventually was not offered by the Republican party.
