BREAKING: Jim Jordan Loses Loses Ground In Speaker Fight, Here's The Republicans Who Voted Against Him

On Friday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), after days of attempting to convince moderate Republicans to side with him and following a plan to instate Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) as temporary speaker went sideways, he once again failed to get the adequate amount of votes to win over the speaker's gavel.

Jordan previously lose a vote on Tuesday with 20 Republicans voting against him and again on Wednesday when 22 moderates turned their back on Jordan. On the third vote, Jordan saw an increased number of holdouts with 25 voted against him.

Here are the Republican members who voted against Jim Jordan's speakership:
 

• Don Bacon (NE) voted for Patrick McHenry
• Vern Buchanan (FL) voted for Byron Donalds
• Ken Buck (CO) voted for Tom Emmer
• Lori Chavez-Deremer (OR) voted for Kevin McCarthy 
• Anthony D'Esposito (NY) voted for Lee Zeldin
• Mario Diaz-Balart (FL) voted for Steve Scalise
• Jake Ellzey (TX) voted for Mike Garcia
• Drew Ferguson (GA) voted for Steve Scalise
• Brian Fitzpatrick (PA) voted for Patrick McHenry
• Andrew Garbarino (NY) voted for Lee Zeldin
• Carlos Gimenez (FL) voted for Kevin McCarthy
• Tony Gonzales (TX) voted for Steve Scalise
• Kay Granger (TX) voted for Steve Scalise
• John James (MI) voted for Byron Donalds
• Tom Kean (NJ) voted for Kevin McCarthy
• Mike Kelly (PA) voted for Steve Scalise
• Jen Kiggans (VA) voted for Patrick McHenry
• Nick LaLota (NY) voted for Lee Zeldin
• Mike Lawler (NY) voted for Patrick McHenry 
• Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA) voted for Patrick McHenry
• Marcus Molinaro (NY) voted for Lee Zeldin
• John Rutherford (FL) voted for Steve Scalise
• Mike Simpson (ID) voted for Steve Scalise
• Pete Stauber (MN) voted for Bruce Westerman
• Steve Womack (AR) voted for Steve Scalise

As Jordan's chances look increasingly grim, the House Republicans could fall back on a plan popularized on Thursday that would see Patrick McHenry elevated to temporary speaker with enhanced powers. However, that plan saw significant pushback from conservative Republicans meaning that it would require moderate Republicans to side with Democrats to make the plan happen.

As Congress enters the weekend without a speaker, the House is expected to take more voted on Saturday in an attempt to stop the gridlock and elect a speaker that can lead the chamber and begin passing legislation through the body.
