The RINOs will be outraged. President Trump endorses Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House. They were hoping for another squishy Speaker, following in the footsteps of John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy,. Jordan cannot be intimidated by the Democrats and he will give back more than gets. Democrats will be a mixture of outraged and scared out of their gourd. Many Reps were expected to vote for Trump for the Speakership, but I worried hat it would eat up too much of his campaign time.
In a late-night post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump formally gave his endorsement to Representative Jordan.
Read the full statement below:
“Congressman Jim Jordan has been a STAR long before making his very successful journey to Washington, D.C., representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District. Respected by all, he is now Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
As President, I had the honor of presenting Jim with our Country’s highest civilian award, The Presidential Medal of Freedom. So much is learned from sports, and Jim was a master! While attending Graham High School, he won State Championships all four years, a rarity, and compiled an amazing 156-1 record.

Chairman Jordan wrote:
“We are at a critical crossroad in our nation’s history. Now is the time for our Republican conference to come together to keep our promise to Americans. The problems we face are challenging, but they are not insurmountable. We can focus on the changes that improve the country and unite us in offering real solutions. But no matter what we do, we must do it together as a conference.”
“I respectfully ask for your support for Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
Rep. Jim Jordan revealed on Thursday that he had discussed his bid for Speaker of the House with former President Donald Trump, NBC reported.
Jordan, a staunch ally of Trump, declined to confirm whether the former President supports his bid but described their conversation as “great.”
“I talked to the president about this and all kinds of issues,” Jordan said. “I don’t want to say anything, but I had a great conversation with the president.”
Jordan also addressed the issue of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who has been the subject of discussions about possible removal from the Republican Conference. Gaetz has faced criticism for his role in the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the Speaker’s post. Jordan said he would not support efforts to oust Gaetz, describing him as a “talented member of Congress.”
“I don’t think that’s warranted,” Jordan said. “We’ve got a four-seat majority; Matt’s a talented member of Congress. I disagree with what he did … but he’s a great member of our committee. … I think we’ve got to come together.”
