How they voted: Nebraska, Iowa representatives repeat selections in 2nd round Speaker vote

(WOWT) - Here’s who the Congressional representatives from Nebraska and Iowa cast their ballots for on Wednesday’s vote for Speaker of the House.

Their selections mirrored the votes they cast on Tuesday, with most voting for Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, but Don Bacon of Nebraska casting his vote for former speaker Kevin McCarthy.

2nd Dist. Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb.: Kevin McCarthy
1st Dist. Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb.: Jim Jordan
3rd Dist. Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb.: Jim Jordan
3rd Dist. Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa: Jim Jordan
4th Dist. Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa: Jim Jordan

Mike Flood and his fellow GOP Senators are gearing up for a third round of voting for the House Speaker.

The totals for the rest of the House were much the same as Tuesday as well, with Jordan and McCarthy each losing one vote. Democrat Hakeem Jeffries received 212 votes again on Wednesday, but Jordan received 199. Steve Scalise again received seven votes, but McCarthy got five and 10 votes were cast for others on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, all members of Congress representing Nebraska and western Iowa had previously voted against removing Kevin McCarthy as speaker.
