After standing in recess subject to the call of the chair for more than seven hours, Patrick McHenry declares the chamber adjourned.

Everyone will be back at 10 a.m. to, in theory, vote on a speaker.

Jordan will pursue a third vote to seek the speakership on Friday at 10 a.m., his office announced this evening.

The push comes despite mounting concerns in the Republican caucus that he will continue to bleed support, while the most conservative members stood firm against a motion to empower temporary speaker Patrick McHenry.

More from Kelly on Jordan:

"I don't know that any minds changed," he says of the holdout meeting. "I thought he handled the whole thing with great grace."

"I want to see him back in Judiciary as the chairman, finishing the job he's started."

Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, on Jim Jordan:

"You know how smart this guy is, right? He doesn't wear glasses; he can see the writing on the wall."

"This guy refuses to lose, and that's OK, I find that to be very good. But there's some point that we're going to have to move forward and we can't keep the country shut down."

McHenry tells CNN's Manu Raju that he hasn't yet decided whether to have a third vote for speaker this evening.

The House remains in recess subject to the call of the chair, as has been the case for more than five hours now.

The meeting between Jordan and nearly two dozen opponents of his speakership bid has broken up.

Jordan, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Speaker Pro Tem Patrick McHenry have all left the room without speaking to reporters.

"At least a couple" more House Republican members will oppose Jim Jordan if a third speaker vote takes place, two sources familiar with discussions tell The Post.

Among those lawmakers likely to ditch Jordan in the next round: New York Rep. Marc Molinaro.

One of those 22 holdouts, Hudson Valley Rep. Mike Lawler has come out with this statement following his meeting with Jordan:

"While we have many talented members in our conference, it is my sincere belief that Kevin McCarthy is still the only person capable of leading our conference forward and, equally as important, he is currently the only member of our conference capable of winning the 217 votes needed to be Speaker. No, Kevin isn’t perfect, but none of us are. If perfection is our standard, expect to be disappointed.

"The best thing that could happen now - for our conference, the House of Representatives, and the country – is for cooler heads to prevail, past grievances to be dropped, and for Republicans to concede that ousting Kevin was a mistake and set things right. We must prove to the American people that we can govern effectively and responsibly, or in 15 months we’ll be debating who the Minority Leader is and preparing for Joe Biden’s second inaugural.

"If others disagree with me and believe there is another person in our conference who can get 217 votes, I am certainly open to – and willing to vote for – a viable alternative, but not one who favors shutting down the government or pursuing an agenda that hurts my constituents in the Hudson Valley.

"In the absence of an immediate resolution, we must empower Speaker Pro-Tempore Patrick McHenry to serve as Speaker temporarily to allow us to get back to work, move important legislation, while we settle on a permanent Speaker."

Jim Jordan will hold a 4 p.m. meeting with 22 holdouts who opposed him on the second ballot Wednesday, a source tells The Post.

It's unclear whether there will be a third ballot, with some members calling for a floor vote tonight and others calling for new candidates to emerge in the speakership fight.

GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) rejected an approach to empower the McHenry motion, which she said was "Democrat-backed" — and called instead for another vote on the House floor.

"The people across #NY21 and America can rest assured that I strongly oppose any attempt to create a Democrat backed coalition government," she tweeted mid-afternoon Thursday.

"I will vote to support Jim Jordan for Speaker on the House Floor.

"We must work to unify Republicans as the last line of defense to save America."

As the number-three House Republican, Stefanik makes the strongest statement yet that the chances of elevating the acting speaker are dead in the water.

More from Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on the McHenry motion: "I think it's pretty much dead. But I think it was useful discussion, because as long as it was held out as a viable option, you had people who had a reason not to vote for Jim Jordan, and so now that can be sorted.

"We all kind of get up and say there's nobody in this room that can get to 217. But if we believe that, we should just give Hakeem Jeffries the gavel. What we actually mean is, there's nobody who could get there on two votes in three legislative days to 217.

“Obviously somebody can get to 217, but it takes time for anybody. It took McCarthy 15 rounds, and he had a two-month head start.

"If you’re Patrick McHenry, you probably don’t want this job because it’s a barn-cleaning job.”

If a third round of voting does take place, Massie adds, members expect Jordan to get even "fewer" votes than the 199 he got last time around.
