Any measure focused on McHenry is expected to require Democratic support, as some Republicans voice objections
Rep. Jim Jordan, the Republican nominee for House speaker, plans to steer clear of pushing Thursday for a third round of voting on his bid for the post, according to multiple published reports.
Jordan ran into more trouble Wednesday in his push to become the next speaker, as the number of fellow Republicans voting against the congressman rose to 22 in a second ballot, up from 20 on Tuesday. The decision to hold off on a third ballot by Jordan — an ally of former President Donald Trump and co-founder of the hardline House Freedom Caucus — comes after analysts had warned that the process of picking a new leader was preventing the Republican-run House from addressing crucial matters, such as avoiding a government shutdown next month and supporting Israel.
Republican Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio has indicated he’s ready to introduce a resolution that would put McHenry in the speaker job more permanently and expand the interim speaker’s powers. There’s also a view among some experts on congressional procedures that McHenry isn’t facing any practical limits in running the House and doesn’t need to have his powers expanded.
