Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan dropped out of the race for House speaker Friday after he lost a third floor vote and his colleagues subsequently voted in a private meeting against him continuing his candidacy.
Republicans divided on passing stopgap bills vs. comprehensive funding bills. Jim Jordan proposes stopgap bill to trigger 1% government spending reduction.
Twenty Republican members voted against Jim Jordan, forcing a House speaker election into a second round of voting for only the second time in nearly a century.
