Donald Trump endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio to be the following speaker of the home, based on a publish the previous president printed to Reality Social shortly after midnight E.T. on Friday. The endorsement will doubtless put to relaxation any concept that Trump would himself run for the place after Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the place this week.
“Congressman Jim Jordan has been a STAR lengthy earlier than making his very profitable journey to Washington, D.C., representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District. Revered by all, he’s now Chairman of the Home Judiciary Committee. As President, I had the glory of presenting Jim with our Nation’s highest civilian award, The Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump wrote on Reality Social in a really lengthy and rambling publish.
Trump went on to tout Jordan’s time as in school wrestling and identified the consultant’s attitudes on weapons and the U.S.-Mexico border earlier than giving his express endorsement.
“Jim, his spouse, Polly, & household are excellent – He can be a GREAT Speaker of the Home, & has my Full & Complete Endorsement!” Trump wrote.
