Jim Jordan NEW Speaker Nominee Following Scalise WITHDRAWAL, Will GOP Unite?

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) on Friday afternoon won a secret ballot among House Republicans to become the next Speaker, but divisions among the GOP remain more than a week and a half after the position was vacated.

It's the second time this week Republicans have voted to put forward a nominee for Speaker and came after previous Speaker-designate Steve Scalise (R-La.) pulled out of the race in the face of budding GOP resistance.

Jordan won 124 votes among his GOP colleagues in the secret tally Friday, more than the 99 votes he got when he went up against Scalise earlier in the week (Scalise got 113 then). Little-known Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) threw his name into the race earlier Friday and got more than 80 votes against Jordan.
