After losing the first vote, the House is set to hold a second round of voting for Speaker. The fractured GOP conference is also witnessing a growing push to enhance McHenry's authority. Jordan's decision to stop the balloting and support McHenry temporarily running the House has added to the chaos. The resolution to expand the powers of the House speaker pro temp is gaining more pressure, as Jordan leans towards backing it. The developments highlight the ongoing struggle within the Republican Party to determine the House Speaker.
