Representative Jim Jordan, a hard-right Ohio Republican, failed for the second time to gain enough support from his party to become speaker. The House remains leaderless after two weeks of Republican infighting. nyti.ms/45BwzsL

The headline reads: "Jordan fails a second time to become House speaker." A chart shows how for the first ballot round, Jim Jordan earned 200, Hakeem Jeffries earned 212 and other earned 20. For the second ballot round, Jim Jordan earned 199, Hakeem Jeffries earned 212 and other earned 22. To win, a member must receive a majority of votes cast for a person, not counting "present" votes.
