Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, who lost his first bid for House speaker earlier Tuesday, announced that a second vote will take place at 11 a.m. ET Wednesday.

Jordan fell significantly short of winning the speaker’s gavel on a first ballot Tuesday, leaving the House in paralysis after 20 Republicans opposed the Ohio congressman.

Jordan told CNN’s Many Raju that he will “keep going” and they’ve had “good conversations this afternoon.” 

“No one in our conference wants to see a coalition government with the Democrats. We are going to keep working. We will get to the votes,” he said. 

When pressed on how many ballots Jordan will go he said “we have to get a speaker.” 

Jordan said the expected return of Florida Rep. Gus Bilirakis, a Jordan supporter who missed the first vote to be at his mother-in-law’s funeral, should help him and insisted they are chipping away at the holdouts. 

He pointed to the fact on the first ballot he had a similar number of defections as former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy who was still able to win the gavel in January after 15 ballots.
