Jordan No Longer Nominee

In the effort to name a new Speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan loses his third try for a House majority by an increasing margin. CNBC reports this time he lost by 25 votes. So in three tries Jordan has lost by 20, 22, and 25. I'd say he can't like the trend line, which gets worse rather than better.

Furthermore, the Republican caucus then voted to rescind Jordan's nomination for the position of Speaker. The GOP are collectively back at square one - farther up the creek minus both paddles and a canoe.
