He lost the first round after 19 Republicans defected, and now a third round is expected.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) nominated McCarthy for the second round, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-OH) nominated Jordan.

This is the first time in 100 years that a speaker was not secured in the first round of votes.

Jordan, who nominated and voted for McCarthy, won 19 votes. McCarthy won 203 votes and Hakeem Jeffries won 212 votes.
