Jordan faced resistance from 22 Republicans and all Democrats in the second round of voting. GOP defections had somewhat increased as of this point over the prior day.

With the House still without a leader for the sixteenth day, Congress is unable to adequately address pressing issues like the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Furthermore, without congressional intervention, action is required to prevent a possible partial government shutdown that is expected to occur in less than a month.

Jordan received 199 votes, which was a further decrease from the 200 Republican votes he received on Tuesday. This is less than Speaker Kevin McCarthy received in any of the fifteen voting rounds that he participated in over the course of four days in January before being elected speaker.

The current state of affairs has reignited conversations over the possibility of giving Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Patrick McHenry (R., N.C.) additional authority in order to support crucial legislative activity. Later in the day, there may be a vote on such a resolution.
