Trump Endorses Jim Jordan’s House Speaker Bid

A key reason that now is a good time to not pay attention to propagandists plaguing corporate mainstream media news coverage is because Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s puppet masters are terrified.

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday announced a bid for House Speaker after Kevin McCarthy was voted out of the position.

Just a day later, President Donald J. Trump indicated he is endorsing Jordan.

In a letter to House members, Jordan wrote:

The American people have entrusted us to lead in the House of Representatives. Our majority has had success in the first nine months of the 118th Congress. We should be proud of what we have achieved together in these divided times.

But our work is not done. Far-left progressive policies are destroying our communities, our security, and our future. We have soaring crime across the country. We have an administration with open-border policies that have caused chaos and left our country vulnerable. We’ve seen federal agencies turned on the American people silencing speech online, targeting parents at school board meetings, and flagging pro-life Catholics as potential threats and we’ve witnessed blatant double standards in federal law enforcement. We continue to spend too much money and Americans are suffering under President Biden’s economy.

The Republican majority must continue to address the issues that matter to the American people. We must address rising crime in major cities and reject soft-on-crime, pro-criminal policies. We must get our fiscal house in order and reduce spending so that we can leave more to the next generation than a crushing deficit. We must do our constitutional oversight of the federal bureaucracy to ensure they work for the American people-not the other way around. And we must continue working to secure the border and protect our national security.

We agreed at the beginning of the Congress that there are three fundamental things the House must do: pass the bills that need to be passed, do the oversight, and rein in the spending. Working with Chairman Green and our leadership, I helped to deliver the most significant legislative accomplishment this Congress: the strongest immigration and border enforcement bill ever. With other committee chairs and the members of the Judiciary Committee, I am doing the oversight and holding the Administration accountable. And I have been among the leaders in pushing for fiscal discipline my entire career.

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 promises 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.”

Jordan is a founding member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, serving as its first chair from 2015 to 2017, and as its vice chair since 2017.

He was the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee from 2019 to 2020. He vacated that position to become the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, of which he became chair in 2023.

Eight Republicans voted to oust McCarthy: Biggs, Buck, Burchett, Crane, Gaetz, Good, Mace, and Rosendale.

Chairman Jordan, on Tuesday night mentioned a speakership bid during an appearance on Fox News with host Sean Hannity.

Hannity asked Jordan if he would consider the role if offered, to which Jordan responded, “I’m going to talk to the conference over the next week, Sean. I think that’s the key.”

Jordan has established national popularity as a conservative promoter. He has represented Ohio’s 4th Congressional District since 2007, and under his leadership, the House Judiciary Committee launched investigations into Hunter Biden, the FBI, and prosecutors that have initiated false charges against Trump.

Among the first members of the House of Representatives to endorse Jordan was Indiana U.S. Rep. Jim Banks.

Banks is running for U.S. Senate, who just the day before voted against removing McCarthy.

Jordan and Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., announced Wednesday they would run for speaker, just a day after the House voted 216-210 to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from the leadership role. McCarthy said he would not run for speaker again and the House is expected to vote on the chamber’s leader sometime next week.

“Right now, Americans are looking for leaders in Congress who will rein in spending and record inflation, secure the border, get tough on crime and hold the Biden administration accountable,” Banks said in the Wednesday statement. “Jim Jordan checks all those boxes.”

Jordan had voted to keep McCarthy the day before and told his colleagues, “Pass the bills that need passed. Do the oversight work that needs to be done. And stop the inevitable omnibus that comes from the United States Senate right before the holidays. Kevin McCarthy has been rock solid on all three.”

“We have passed the bills we told the American people we would pass. 87,000 IRS agents, that bill passed. Parent’s Bill of Rights, that bill passed. Border security, immigration enforcement legislation, the strongest bill ever to pass the Congress passed earlier this year.”

“We have done what we told them we were going to do. We can’t help if the Senate won’t take up those good, commonsense bills. They’ll have to answer to the American people come election day.”

“Oversight. We have done the oversight that we’re supposed to do,” he continued. “Because of our oversight, we know that parents were targeted by the Department of Justice.”

“Because of our Oversight, we know 51 former intel officials misled the country weeks before the most important election we have. Because of our oversight, the disinformation governance board at the Department of Homeland Security is gone.”

In August, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said this about Jordan:

“Look, Jim, he’s a champion wrestler, he’s tough, he’s principled, and if Jim Jordan were Speaker we’d get these documents tomorrow because he fights and he would dig in. And so I think it would be great. I mean, I think all the lobbyists would be quaking in their boots if Jim Jordan was Speaker.”

On his news program Wednesday evening, Sean Hannity endorsed Jordan.

“Let me tell you where I am tonight, make no mistake, I like Steve Scalise. I think he’s a great leader, I think he’s a really good guy. He’s a patriot.

But I personally am worried for him for one, very, very real reason. It’s not going to be easy to run for speaker. He happens to be going through cancer treatment right now and I want his health to be put first. I really mean that when I say that. I don’t think he should be changing his position at this time.
–Sean Hannity

Hannity concluded, “With that in mind, again no personal anything involved in this, my choice for chairman, my choice for speaker, the best option I think we have is Jim Jordan.”
