House of Representatives Fails to Unify and Elect Speaker, Despite Efforts of Rep.-Elect Jim Jordan (R-OH)

The House of Representatives convened on January 4th, 2023 to vote for the next Speaker of the House, but failed to unify and elect a Speaker. U.S. Rep.-elect Jim Jordan (R-OH) was present and has been a vocal advocate for conservative causes and a leader of the House Freedom Caucus. His efforts were unsuccessful, and the House has been unable to pass the fiscal bills needed to keep the government operating.
