The Republicans have no realistic or workable plan to unite a fractured majority.
Jim Jordan has failed badly in a third attempt to be named speaker of the US House of Representatives, rejected by even more Republicans from the conservative mainstream who warned the ally of Donald Trump that no threats or promises could win their support.
For more than two weeks the stalemate has shut down the House, leaving a seat of American democracy severely hobbled at a time of challenges at home and abroad. The House Republican majority appears to have no idea how to end the political turmoil and get back to work. The holdouts want “nothing” from Mr Jordan, Mr Gimenez said, adding that some of the legislators in the meeting simply called on him to drop out of the race.
Representative Matt Gaetz, a chief architect of Mr McCarthy’s removal, said after Friday’s vote that he and other Jordan supporters would be willing to be censured or otherwise punished by their Republican colleagues if that was what it took to win votes for Mr Jordan.
