Reuters reported that hardline Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, who has secured the Republican nomination for Speaker of the House, is seeking support from his party to be voted into office by the full House of Representatives.

The vote will take place at noon EST (midnight HKT) today (17 Oct) at the earliest. In last Friday's (13 Oct) intra-party vote, 55 Republican members of the House voted against Jordan's nomination.

A number of moderates who opposed Jordan's nomination earlier have changed their stance, but it is not yet known how many of them will change their stance in the vote. Those who opposed Jordan are unhappy that his opponent caused the original nominee Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, to drop out of the race without enough votes. They also do not want to give back to the Republican hardliners who caused the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Some Republican moderates are also negotiating with the Democrats to co-pick the Speaker and give the Democrats more say.

The Republicans have 221 seats in the House, 9 more than the Democrats, meaning that Jordan will not be able to take office if more than 4 Republicans turn against him.

The House was paralysed by the unprecedented removal of McCarthy from the Speaker position on 3 March. The temporary funding for the US government is valid until 17 Nov, meaning Congress would need to pass a budget or a spending bill urgently, while dealing with the issues of military aid to Israel and Ukraine.
