Since I was first elected to the House, I have always been a team player and supported what the majority of the Republican Conference agrees to. Together, our Republican majority will be stronger to fight Joe Biden’s reckless agenda for America. (3/3)

…as well as the need for stronger protections against the scourge of human trafficking and child exploitation.
Jim Jordan is our conference nominee, and I will support his nomination for Speaker on the House floor.

Furthermore, ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy also endorsed Jordan during a Monday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
It’s one thing to get elected. It’s another thing to govern.
It’s time to get the House out of this tailspin, come together, and get America back on the right track.@Jim_Jordan can do it. pic.twitter.com/gTk23QB9NM
— Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) October 16, 2023
McCarthy emphasized the importance of not only getting elected but also being able to effectively govern. He believes that Jordan has the ability to lead the House and steer America in the right direction.
Last week, Jordan secured the Republican nomination for the speakership with 124 votes. However, he still needs to gather around 217 votes to win the floor vote, which is expected to take place on Tuesday.

The endorsements from Rogers, Calvert, and Wagner are seen as significant for Jordan’s campaign and increase the likelihood of his ascension to the speakership.
If Jordan does become the next speaker of the House, he will have a crucial role in leading the Republican Party and shaping the legislative agenda. As the highest-ranking member of the House, the speaker has substantial influence over the legislative process and plays a key role in shaping the party’s priorities.
It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but if current trends continue, Jim Jordan could soon be sworn in as the 56th speaker of the House.
