It was not immediately clear whether the congressman would abandon his bid given the scale of his latest defeat, or press ahead with a fourth floor vote.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republican opponents have criticised Jordan for failing to recognise the 2020 election results but also balked at the heavy-handed pressure campaign he launched to gain their support. Some received threats to their personal safety and that of their family members from rightwing activists after opposing his bid.<\/p>\n<p>The pivotal House Speaker role has been vacant for more than two weeks, since Kevin McCarthy was ousted in early October by a group of eight firebrand conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>Despite McCarthy\u2019s humiliation by fellow Republicans earlier this year, the former Speaker delivered the speech nominating Jordan for the role. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in a very bad place right now,\u201d McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill after Jordan\u2019s latest defeat. Asked if Jordan should hold another vote, he said: \u201cThat\u2019s a question for him. Jim needs to look at it and see what he wants to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIt\u2019s a problem for the party that we\u2019re in this situation to begin with.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The political vacuum comes as Biden has asked Congress for $106bn dollars of new funding to help Israel and Ukraine \u2014 as well as border security and humanitarian assistance. But in the absence of a Speaker, no legislation can move through the House, which will prevent it from being approved.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick McHenry, a Republican representative from North Carolina and chair of the House financial services committee, is serving as temporary Speaker, but without the power to put any bills on the floor. McHenry received six votes from House Republicans on Friday morning. <\/p>\n<p>A push by some Republicans to give him additional powers for a few months in order to advance legislation while the party sought a consensus candidate for Speaker failed earlier this week, adding greater uncertainty to the US political scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/cf1c242c-94be-45ed-a334-c81685274427\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
