    Jordan says House will hold next speaker vote at noon ET Thursday

    House Republican supporters of a resolution to temporarily empower interim Speaker Patrick McHenry are working to maximize GOP votes and educate members about the effort. Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a chief Republican opponent of Jim Jordan’s speakership bid, said on Wednesday that the speaker designee would lose a “bigger chunk” of GOP floor votes on a third ballot. The 11-term South Florida congressman said he would “never” back Jordan for speaker.
