Rep. Jim Jordan will not try a third time Thursday to become the next speaker of the House after failing to gain enough support in votes held on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
Jordan will instead seek to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick T. McHenry, R-N.C., according to The Washington Post. He will push for McHenry to be able to carry out legislative business in the House until Jan. 3, The New York Times reported.
