On to Round Three or to Someone Else?

After all the votes were cast and counted just a few minutes ago, the House was still in search of a Speaker.  Jim Jordan of Ohio fell short on the second round of votes, actually losing two votes between the first and second rounds.  Twenty-two Republicans voted for someone other than Jordan for Speaker, leaving him with 199 votes.  Democrats once again voted unanimously for Hakeem Jeffries of New York.

The House is currently in recess.
