Representative Jim Jordan is no longer gunning for the speakership, despite continued support from his allies to seek the gavel.
House Republicans offered a rebuke of Jordan as the next Speaker of the House on Wednesday, choosing instead to nominate Representative Steve Scalise in a 113-99 closed-door vote.
Although Scalise won the backing of the majority of his party, his candidacy will still need support on the House floor, where chaos ensued the last time Republicans tried to elect a speaker. Representative Kevin McCarthy, who was ousted from the leadership position last week in a shocking vote, wasn't able to secure enough votes to win until the 15th round of voting.
