Jim Jordan Calls Pence, DeSantis ‘Great Guys,’ But He Is ‘100% For President Trump’ In 2024

Jim Jordan, the president of the Ohio Republican Party and the House Judiciary Committee, reaffirmed his backing of former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential vote.

Jordan told Fox News on Friday that former Vice President Mike Pence and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who are both expected to announce a presidential bid soon, are “great guy[s],” but Trump has his full support going into the GOP presidential primary. The House Republican’s comments come as the GOP primary heats up and two weeks after Trump was charged with 34 felony counts for his alleged hush money payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels.

” I just spoke with Vice President Mike Pence.” Governor DeSantis is a fantastic individual. There were nine of us when we started the Freedom Caucus. One of the nine was him. Jordan remarked,” But I am 100 percent for President Trump.

Jordan declared his support for Trump because he demonstrated his commitment to keeping his word while living in Washington, D.C., for four days.

He claimed that no one had shown that they would follow through on their promises and accomplish their goals in the same way that he did, and that everyone in that city was against him. And that’s’s the quality of President Trump that I still admire, and I support him wholeheartedly.

Jordan has stood by the former president as Trump faces his criminal trial in Manhattan, launching an inquiry into the unprecedented investigation of an ex-president. Last week, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee subpoenaed former New York County Special Assistant District Attorney Mark Pomerantz, who has pursued criminal charges against Trump. Pomerantz abruptly resigned along with one other prosecutor leading the Trump inquiry in February of last year after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg reportedly expressed doubts about the case he inherited from his predecessor.

According to Jordan, Pomerantz’s’s public comments regarding the analysis” highly suggest that Bragg is politically motivated to prosecute President Trump.”

Bragg sued Jordan earlier this week, seeking to block congressional subpoenas linked to the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation of Trump and accusing Jordan of “obstruction and interference.”

Trump, who consistently leads polls for the GOP nomination by double digits, now adds Jordan’s name to a growing list of Republicans who have publicly come out in support of him for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) have all endorsed or expressed that they are behind Trump for 2024.

Trump is reportedly off against three other Republican candidates who have declared their support. Former Arkansas governor Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina government Nikki Haley, and technology investor All of Asa Hutchinson’s’s candidates for the White House have made their announcements. In the upcoming weeks or months, Sen. Tim Scott( R-SC ), DeSantis, and Pence are all anticipated to enter the race.
