No second vote tonight. The House will reconvene in the morning.

Here's a completely uninformed totally speculative guess: Jordan's whip count didn't improve, and may have worsened, between the first and second vote. If he had flipped a non-trivial number of votes more than the ones who publicly confirmed they were switching, then it would have been in his best interest to call a second vote. Even if it failed, if it showed progress towards getting to 217, it would have strengthened his talks with recalcitrant members overnight. Not having a second vote tonight suggests he's having more trouble picking up enough flips to show movement.
