Trump backs Jim Jordan for House Speaker.
Former President Donald Trump Endorses Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House
In an exciting turn of events, former President Donald Trump has officially endorsed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) to be the next Speaker of the House. This endorsement comes after a small group of Republicans joined forces with the entire House Democrat Caucus to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the position.
Trump’s endorsement follows reports that he was considering a visit to Capitol Hill to unite the caucus before the next speaker vote. Taking to social media, Trump praised Jordan’s long-standing success and reputation, highlighting his achievements in sports and education.
“Congressman Jim Jordan has been a STAR long before making his very successful journey to Washington, D.C., representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District,” Trump wrote. ”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.”
Trump continued to emphasize Jordan’s exceptional athletic career, including his impressive high school and college wrestling accomplishments. He also highlighted Jordan’s educational background, holding a master’s degree in Education from Ohio State University and a Law Degree from Capital University.
“He is STRONG on Crime, Borders, our Military/Vets, & 2nd Amendment. Jim, his wife, Polly, & family are outstanding – He will be a GREAT Speaker of the House, & has my Complete & Total Endorsement!”
Prior to Trump’s endorsement, several prominent Republicans had already expressed their support for Jordan over House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA). House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) praised Jordan’s leadership skills and ability to unite the conference.
Other notable endorsements for Jordan came from Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN), Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), and many more.

Trump’s endorsement puts to rest rumors that he himself would consider serving as Speaker of the House. While it would be unprecedented for a speaker to be elected from outside of Congress, Trump’s popularity among House Republicans could have made it a possibility.
However, challenges would have arisen due to the slim majority held by House Republicans. Trump would have needed near-unanimous support from his party, which seemed unlikely as there were indications of opposition within the party. Failing to secure enough votes could have had negative implications for his future presidential campaign.
Furthermore, Trump’s potential candidacy for speaker would have clashed with Republican Party rules, which require leaders to step down if indicted for a felony carrying a potential sentence of two or more years imprisonment. Currently, Trump faces 91 felony counts across four indictments.
It’s worth noting that these rules align with the policies of the Democratic Party. Just last month, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) was forced to step down as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee due to multiple felony charges related to an alleged bribery scheme.
What role did Jim Jordan play in exposing the FBI’s mishandling of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election?
Endorsement, Jordan was already a highly influential and respected member of the Republican Party. He has been serving as the Representative for Ohio’s 4th Congressional District since 2007 and has consistently advocated for conservative values and principles.
Jordan’s tenure as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has been marked by his unwavering support for law and order. He has been a staunch advocate for tougher immigration policies and has worked to secure the borders and protect American citizens. Additionally, Jordan has been a vocal proponent of the Second Amendment, fighting to preserve the rights of law-abiding gun owners.
One of Jordan’s notable achievements during his time in Congress was his role in exposing the FBI’s mishandling of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He played a critical role in questioning key figures involved in the investigation, shedding light on potential abuses of power and the need for accountability.
Furthermore, Jordan’s educational background makes him uniquely qualified for the role of Speaker of the House. His experience in the field of education, coupled with his legal expertise, provides him with a well-rounded understanding of the issues facing the American people.
With Trump’s endorsement, Jordan’s chances of becoming the next Speaker of the House have significantly increased. Trump’s popularity and influence within the Republican Party make his endorsement a valuable asset for any candidate seeking higher office.
However, Jordan will still need to garner support from his colleagues in order to secure the position of Speaker of the House. The outcome of the next speaker vote will ultimately depend on the support he can gather from fellow Republicans.
If elected as Speaker of the House, Jordan has the potential to bring a fresh perspective and a strong conservative voice to the position. His unwavering commitment to conservative principles and his track record of standing up for the American people make him a compelling choice for the role.
In conclusion, former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House marks an important development in the race for the position. Jordan’s impressive background and accomplishments, coupled with Trump’s endorsement, position him as a strong contender for the role. It will be interesting to see how this endorsement influences the upcoming speaker vote and the future direction of the House of Representatives.
