House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy failed to lock down the votes needed for speaker after twenty of his GOP colleagues voted against him as the House concluded voting for a third round on Tuesday.
The final tally was 212 votes for Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, 202 votes for McCarthy and 20 votes for GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.
GOP Rep. Tom Cole called for the House to adjourn until noon Wednesday following the vote.
Most Democrats supported the motion to adjourn, so the House stands adjourned.
