Rep. Jim Jordan has announced his support for Rep. Patrick McHenry as the temporary Speaker of the House, abandoning his bid for the position. This comes after a group of uniparty Republicans opposed Jordan's candidacy and instead sought to elect McHenry as Speaker Pro Tempore. The bipartisan support for McHenry's temporary appointment is growing, although it remains uncertain whether Republicans will elect a new Speaker. Jordan's endorsement of McHenry as the interim speaker until January has caused chaos in the House. The plan to empower McHenry collapsed after failing to garner enough support from House Republicans.
