Since Kevin McCarthy's ousting as House speaker two weeks ago.

Republicans have been fighting among themselves about who should fill the position.

Trump ally Rep.

Jim Jordan has emerged as a main contender, but a handful of Republicans are refusing to vote for him, citing his extreme views, AP reports.

However, Jordan has already convinced "dozens of detractors" to support him amid public pressure to fill the seat, AP reports.

House Republicans will put it to a vote on Oct.

17.

Trump reiterated his support for Jordan.

Jim Jordan will be a great speaker.

I think he’s going to have the votes soon, if not today over the next day or two, Donald Trump, via statement.

Jordan needs to receive 217 votes to become speaker, which means nearly the full majority of his party needs to back him.

Democrats are slated to back Hakeem Jeffries for the job.

All House business has been suspended until a speaker is appointed

His actions sparked a mix of cheers and boos from fellow lawmakers, causing a brief commotion. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., reminded members to maintain decorum, but when Green refused to back down, Johnson ordered the sergeant at arms to remove him.

China Vows Brutal Payback On Trump Tariffs | Trump’s Tariffs Compared To 1930s Great Depression

Tensions explode between China and the U.S. as Beijing issues a fierce warning against Washington’s latest tariffs. China's Ambassador to the U.S., Xie Feng, likened Trump’s economic policies to the disastrous protectionism of the Great Depression. Speaking in Washington, he called for cooperation but promised retaliation if provoked. As both nations slap over 100% tariffs and restrict trade, diplomacy hangs by a thread. Will this spiral into a full-blown trade war? Or can both superpowers walk it back before it’s too late? #ChinaVsUS #TradeWar #TrumpTariffs #XieFeng #GreatDepression #USChinaTensions #TariffWar #GlobalEconomy#TrumpNews #ChinaNews #USChinaConflict #WorldTrade #Geopolitics#EconomicCrisis #BeijingRetaliation #BreakingNews#USPolitics #ChinaPolicy #TrumpSpeech #TariffBattle
