Three House Republicans flipped against Rep. Jim Jordan in the third House speaker vote after supporting the Ohio Republican on earlier ballots.
Fitzpatrick voted for Jordan in the first two votes, on Tuesday and Wednesday, but told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday he would not vote for the Ohio Republican on a third ballot. He said he favored empowering Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry in the interim.He represents Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District, which includes all of Bucks County and part of Montgomery County, and was first elected in 2018.
"I voted for Jim Jordan twice because I believed he could unify our conference. I was hopeful and helpful in that effort. But right now, he does not have the necessary votes to win," Molinaro said in a statement on Friday."We need to get back to work and need a conservative who can win the speakership."
