House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan will force a vote for House speaker on Tuesday "even if he doesn't have 217 votes initially," Chief Congressional Correspondent of CNN Manu Raju reported on Monday.

"That's how our great system works. And we will go to the floor tomorrow. It's not about pressuring anybody just about we got to have a speaker.
