Washington – In the election of a new chairman of the US House of Representatives, the arch-conservative MP Jim Jordan also failed in the second round. This means that the congress of the superpower remains effectively unable to act. Former President Donald Trump’s confidant received 199 votes on Wednesday, once once more missing the necessary majority of 217 votes. 22 Republicans refused to support the right-wing hardliner. The 212 Democratic representatives voted unanimously for their group leader Hakeem Jeffries.
