Do we have a new speaker of the House? See how Tuesday's House vote went

The role of United States speaker of the House is still up for grabs after Tuesday's afternoon session finished with no winner. GOP Rep. Jim Jordan, who hoped to nab it, fell short by 17 votes.

A new vote is scheduled for Wednesday around 10 a.m. CT. Here's what to know.

Earlier this month, a sliver of House Republicans, led by conservative hardliner Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., voted to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his post over what they alleged were broken promises. Since then, it's been a waiting game to see who will take over for McCarthy.

Jordan, a representative for Ohio, made it known early that he wanted to be the holder of the gavel but was in contention with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who initially defeated Jordan inside the GOP conference, 113 to 99 for the nomination. Last week, Scalise backed out and Jordan has been securing support ahead of a House vote on Tuesday at noon ET.

But that support just wasn't enough, Jordan failed to reach the 217-vote threshold Tuesday afternoon in the first round of votes. The Ohio lawmaker received 200 votes from his Republican colleagues during the first round, while Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who was Democrats nominee, secured 212.

The Ohio Republican has made quite a name for himself since joining the house, mainly by being a member of the ultra-right Freedom Caucus and being a thorn in GOP leadership's side.

Here are some things to know ahead of the vote and more on Jordan.

Who voted against Jim Jordan?

Jordan lost the first ballot to become speaker. Of the 221 GOP lawmakers 20 voted against him, revealing a significant uphill climb for his bid for speaker.

Here's who voted against him:

• Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb.

• Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo.

• Rep. Chavez DeRamer, R-Ore.

• Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y.

• Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-N.Y.

• Rep. Jake Ellzey, R-Texas

• Rep. Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y.

• Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla.

• Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas

• Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas

• Rep. John James, R-Mich.

• Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa.

• Rep. Jen Kiggans, R-Va.

• Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif.

• Rep. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y.

• Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y.

• Rep. John Rutherford, R-N.Y.

• Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho

• Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind.

• Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark.

To secure the gavel, Jordan will have to flip many of these GOP members before the next call to vote.

Do we have a new speaker of the House yet?

No, as of Tuesday, the nation doesn't have a new speaker of the House. Jordan hoped to secure the House vote during the noon ET session but fell short of the 217 with only 200 votes.

Who is acting speaker of the House now?

Deputy Whip Rep. Patrick McHenry (R- North Carolina) is now acting Speaker Pro Tempore until a vote is held for who will succeed McCarthy. According to House rules, McHenry was picked from a list McCarthy was required to keep of people to take his place.

Who is Jim Jordan?

Jordan, a staunch former President Donald Trump ally, became a member of the House in 2007. Since he made his way to Washington, D.C. from Ohio, Jordan has been known for being a thorn in the sides of GOP leadership. Jordan, a Republican, is a founding member of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus, a group of ultra-right conservatives that used the threat of a possible government shutdown in September if it meant they could extract their wishes from McCarthy.

Jordan, as chair of the House Judiciary Committee, is one of few GOP lawmakers spearheading House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

How many votes does Jim Jordan need to become speaker of the House?

Jordan needs to convince a majority of his fellow Republicans that he is the right person for the job.

To become speaker, he will need to win a vote on the floor with 217 votes. There are currently 433 members of the House with two vacancies.

Democrats aren't expected to lend their GOP colleagues any support, so Republicans will have to figure out a way to coalesce around their next speaker. Jordan has spent days wooing opponents within the House Republicans to try and ensure his win Tuesday.

The House will vote as many times as necessary until someone wins.

Who is opposed to Jim Jordan?

In a few short days, Jordan was able to flip dozens of detractors, shoring up reluctant Republicans who had few options left after McCarthy’s ouster two weeks ago. But there are still several that oppose Jordan's ascent to speaker.

House Democrats are expected to leave Republicans to their own devices and vote for House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Among House Republicans, there have been several outspoken members who oppose Jordan's ambitions for the gavel.

According to Axios, Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) and Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) have said they plan to vote for Scalise. While Reps. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) stated to several agencies that they will vote for McCarthy. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said he is "opposed" to Jordan as well, but didn't mention which way his vote would go on Tuesday.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) has also stated he is opposed to Jordan at this point but planned to meet with his fellow Republican before the vote.

Other Republicans still remain undecided in this.

Who can be speaker of the House?

Names are being put out about possible replacements in the House and even suggestions of getting someone from outside the House to take over.

There is no clear guidance on who is eligible to be the speaker in the Constitution only that the House should choose a speaker. A publication used to establish precedent in House rules says the practice of choosing a speaker from within the House has been followed "invariably."

What happens if a speaker isn't chosen?

If Jordan were to lose the vote on Tuesday, McHenry will continue on as speaker Pro Tempore. But McHenry isn't able to conduct any business in that position.

Business in the House has ground to a halt during the absence of a speaker and will continue to be stagnant until one is elected.
