Republican Jim Jordan postponed a second vote for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday after coming up short in the first vote.
The Ohio lawmaker said the House would vote in a second round at 11 a.m. ET (1500 GMT) on Wednesday.
Jordan, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, won 200 votes, short of the 217 needed to win the job, in a first vote on Tuesday afternoon as 20 of his fellow Republican voted against him. All 212 Democrats voted for their leader, Hakeem Jeffries.
