UPDATE: 6:15 p.m. ET
FOX News is reporting that "Round 3" of the Speaker vote will happen TOMORROW. Grassfire isn't sure what time yet, but we'll continue to keep you updated on this fight.
Like the first two, Thursday's vote for Speaker is likely to be held in late morning or early afternoon. Today's results saw Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) actually lose ground. He received 199 votes -- one less than yesterday.
A total of 22 GOP Reps voted for someone else. Ridiculously, former Speaker John Boehner, who resigned from Congress in 2015 and is now a marijuana lobbyist, received a vote.
+ + Jordan Ally: "Stay strong and keep praying."
Still, Jordan and his team aren't giving up the fight. One ally told FOX News earlier today: "We're going to keep going."
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA) said on social media today."This is the fight — which Jim Jordan represents — to end the status quo, and it ain't easy...Stay strong and keep praying."
Again, "Round 3" of the Speaker vote is expected sometime tomorrow (Thursday). But, if you want to see pro-Trump Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, become House leader, you can take action now!
The "NEVER JORDAN" is basically holding the House "hostage" while they throw a temper tantrum over "America First" lawmakers ousting former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) earlier this month. Make no mistake, this is a war between the D.C. Uniparty and freedom.
It's payback from Establishment RINOs who were embarrassed that McCarthy's election went 15 rounds in January, only to see him be removed nine months later. If you support Jim Jordan for Speaker, take immediate action by faxing GOP Reps now!

BREAKING: 2:00 p.m. ET, Wednesday
Just minutes ago, the House announced the results for "Round 2" of the Speaker vote. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) actually lost ground. He received 199 votes -- one less than yesterday. A total of 22 GOP Reps voted for someone else. (Former Speaker John Boehner, who resigned in 2015, received a vote.)
The "NEVER JORDAN" camp is expanding. They're basically holding the House "hostage" while they throw a temper tantrum over "America First" lawmakers ousting former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) earlier this month.
Make no mistake, this is a war between the D.C. Uniparty and freedom. It's payback from Establishment RINOs who were embarrassed that McCarthy's election went 15 rounds in January, only to see him be removed nine months later.
Grassfire is waiting to hear when "Round 3" of the Speaker vote will occur. But, if you want to see pro-Trump Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, become House leader, you can take action now!
We just updated the "Jim Jordan For Speaker!" FaxFire to include EVERY current GOP "No" vote with a working fax line on Capitol Hill. Click here now to contact 16 of the 22 "NEVER JORDAN" RINOs before the next Speaker vote. Thanks, in advance for making your voice heard.

P.S. If you missed this morning's update, please see below. Or go here to fax GOP House members now to demand they support Jim Jordan for Speaker:
Wednesday morning:
URGENT: House members will reconvene at 11:00 a.m. ET to vote AGAIN for a new Speaker. If you support Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), click here to fax key GOP holdouts now!
The House of Representatives is expected to reconvene at 11:00 a.m. ET this morning for "Round 2" of their efforts to elect a new Speaker. Yesterday's vote failed to result in a clear, majority winner. The next House leader needs at least 217 votes to claim the gavel.
The clear front-runner, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), received only 200 GOP votes. Twenty GOP Reps played the role of spoilers by scattering their votes among seven other Republican choices. True to form, not a single Democrat Rep broke ranks. All 212 voted for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
In response to those 20 holdouts, Grassfire updated our "Jim Jordan For Speaker!" FaxFire last night. We found working fax numbers for 14 of yesterday's "no" votes. If you support Jordan for Speaker, take immediate action to make your voice heard by faxing Republican House members now.
"Round 1" of the Speaker vote saw 20 Republican "holdouts" ignore the groundswell of conservative, grassroots support that was building for Jordan. That same "NEVER JORDAN" camp could block their pro-Trump colleague again today. Click here to fax 14 of them now.
Jordan needs 17 more "Yes" votes to become Speaker. With such a tight margin in the House (221-211), Establishment Republicans could scuttle Jordan's nomination with just five "no" votes. That makes the voices of "America First" patriots critical right now. Thank you, in advance, for taking immediate action.
