Noem unveils 80% certain candidate for next Speaker.
Republican Gov. Kristi Noem Predicts Jim Jordan as Next Speaker of the House
In an exciting development, Republican Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota has declared that Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has an “80 percent chance” of becoming the next speaker of the House of Representatives. Noem made this announcement during an interview with Newsmax host Eric Bolling.
Jordan recently announced his candidacy to replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California, who was ousted on Tuesday when eight Republicans joined 208 Democrats in supporting a motion to vacate the chair.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana is also running for the position.

Noem expressed her belief that Jordan is the most likely candidate to secure the position, stating, “I think he’s probably the guy that most members will land on and give the chance to do it.” However, she acknowledged that the role of House Speaker is challenging, citing the difficulties faced by previous speakers such as John Boehner and Paul Ryan.
Noem also mentioned that the expectations for the next speaker are high, which could potentially set them up for failure. Despite this, she believes that Jordan’s track record of fighting for important issues and investigating corruption in Washington, D.C. makes him a strong contender.
Jordan currently chairs the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. McCarthy has also appointed him to lead the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
It remains to be seen who will ultimately be chosen as the next speaker of the House, but with Noem’s endorsement and Jordan’s impressive credentials, his chances are looking promising.

Noem praised Jordan as a ”strong conservative voice” and believes that he has the ability to bring the Republican Party together and navigate the challenges facing the nation. She expressed confidence in Jordan’s leadership skills and his commitment to upholding conservative principles.
Jordan, a former collegiate wrestler and wrestling coach, has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2007. He has emerged as a prominent conservative figure within the Republican Party, known for his fierce defense of President Donald Trump and his vocal opposition to progressive policies.
If elected, Jordan would become the first Republican Speaker of the House from Ohio since Nicholas Longworth in the 1920s. His potential election could signal a shift in the dynamics of the House and the direction of the Republican Party.
However, Jordan’s candidacy is not without controversy. He has faced criticism for his handling of allegations of sexual misconduct during his time as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State University. Some argue that this could damage his chances of securing the speakership, as it may raise concerns about his ability to lead and effectively represent the party.
Despite these challenges, Jordan has garnered significant support from within the Republican Party. His strong conservative stance and his ability to connect with the base have earned him a loyal following. Many view him as a champion of conservative values and believe that his leadership would be instrumental in advancing the party’s agenda.
The election for Speaker of the House is scheduled to take place on January 3, 2023, when the new Congress convenes. Until then, the race for the speakership will continue to draw attention and speculation as Republicans aim to regain control of the House in the 2022 midterm elections.
For now, Noem’s prediction of Jordan as the next Speaker provides a glimpse into the potential future of Republican leadership in the House. Whether or not Jordan ultimately secures the position, his candidacy represents the growing influence of conservative voices within the party and their impact on shaping its direction and policies.
As the nation faces numerous challenges and a deeply divided political climate, the selection of the next Speaker of the House will be a crucial decision that could shape the course of American politics for years to come.
Only time will tell if Noem’s prediction becomes a reality and if Jordan will indeed become the next speaker. Until then, the race for the speakership will continue to unfold, with Jordan and Scalise vying for support and making their case to their Republican colleagues.
As the countdown to the election begins, all eyes will be on the House of Representatives and the outcome of this high-stakes battle for one of the most influential positions in American politics.
