The House will hold a third speaker vote when it opens for business at 10am EST , his spokesperson Russell Dye said."I'm still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race," Mr Jordan told reporters.
Earlier in the day, Mr Jordan had suggested that Republicans vote to extend the authority of Representative Patrick McHenry, who is serving as acting speaker. Mr Jordan in two votes this week failed to secure the 217 votes needed to claim the speaker's gavel as he has faced opposition from Democrats and some Republicans.
The prolonged leadership battle has laid bare divisions among Republicans who control the chamber by a narrow 221-212 margin.Mr McCarthy was ousted after reaching a deal with Democrats on 30 September to keep the government open. Mr Jordan has made his name in Washington as a leader of a hard-right faction that has exercised enormous influence this year, bringing Washington to the edge of default and the brink of a government shutdown in a budget-cutting drive that has had limited success so far.
