House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has fallen short during the second ballot vote for speaker, failing to move a single vote and setting off another round of balloting as he attempts to cobble together enough votes to secure a majority in the House of Representatives. A group of Republicans who have been opposed to McCarthy’s bid to become the next House speaker shifted their support from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). This comes after Jordan nominated McCarthy in an attempt to garner support for the California Republican, but that attempt was unsuccessful.
