And the National Political Front.

Members of the U.S. House seem unlikely to vote today on whether Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio should become speaker of the House.

Jordan failed to get the required 217 votes Tuesday or Wednesday.

This is video from yesterday's vote when 22 Republicans voted against him.

CNN reported today that it appeared he was continuing to lose support.

So today's planned vote didn't happen.

CNN also reports there's a movement in the House to give more power to the temporary speaker.

Patrick McHenry of northern North Carolina so that the House can start doing business again.

But it's not clear if that will succeed either.

Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky's fourth District says he will not join a coalition with the Democrats and will continue to vote for Jim Jordan.

Massie has been a vocal Jordan supporter.

He has a theory about why Jordan is having so much trouble winning the speakership.

Massie posted, quote, Why is it his election easy here?

Because his leadership represents a credible threat to the unchecked growth of our bloated federal government.

And quote, Congressman Morgan McGarvie of the third District, which includes Louisville, is the only Democrat in Kentucky's Congressional delegation.

He also has some thoughts about the difficulty in picking a House speaker.

Earlier today, he posted this, quote, Our international allies need aid and our government is one month from a shutdown.

What's the Republican majority doing about it?

Jim Jordan just lost two speaker votes in two days.

Democrats are offering a bipartisan path forward.

We're ready to elect a speaker and get back to work and, quote.
