The House of Representatives are voting for a new House Speaker Tuesday.

After the first House Floor vote, GOP nominee Jim Jordan failed to garner enough support to win Speaker.

Jordan needs at least 217 votes to secure House Speaker.

If all Democrats vote for their nominee, Jordan can only lose four GOP votes.

According to Chuck Callesto, at least six House Republicans did not vote for Jim Jordan.

The Blaze reported it’s at least nine House Republicans to vote against Jim Jordan.

Our friends at The Gateway Pundit noted at least 13 votes against Jordan.

The thirteen GOP representatives who broke ranks are:

  1. Don Bacon of Nebraska
  2. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon
  3. Anthony D’Esposito of New York
  4. Mario Diaz Balart of Florida
  5. Jake Ellzey of Texas
  6. Andrew Garbarino of New York
  7. Carlos Gimenez of Florida

  9. Kay Granger of Texas
  10. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania

The House will prepare for a second vote.
