Speaking to the media on Thursday, Jordan said he was going to talk with the Republicans who have voted against him on two previous occasions.
Jordan had considered trying to empower Rep. Patrick McHenry as House speaker pro tempore while he tried to secure the votes needed to become speaker, but he said the Republican conference wasn't in agreement about that idea. The House was thrown into chaos after Kevin McCarthy was voted out of his job after fellow Republicans filed a motion to vacate on Oct. 2. Rep. Matt Gaetz was upset that McCarthy joined Democrats to pass a temporary resolution to keep the government open.
