Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is struggling to become the next speaker of the House.
Two weeks to the day since Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the job, Jordan is now the GOP nominee for speaker — and he's running into the same problem that McCarthy did.
Here are some photos that captured the chaos of the first vote on the House floor in two weeks.
