In a sign of the momentum moving away from Jordan, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a centrist Republican from Pennsylvania, is the first new GOP defector on Friday. After voting for Jordan on the first two rounds, he voted for speaker pro tempore Rep. Patrick McHenry on Friday.

So far, Jordan has not picked up any new Republican votes.
