Donald Trump endorses Jim Jordan to succeed Kevin McCarthy as House speaker

Former President Donald Trump is officially backing Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the pugnacious House Judiciary Committee chairman and longtime Trump defender, to succeed Kevin McCarthy as House speaker.

“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 on his Truth Social site shortly after midnight Friday. “He will be a GREAT Speaker of the House, & has my Complete & Total Endorsement!”

Of course. Jordan's job is primarily to obstruct investigations.

Yeah I think there’s a lot of truth in that

bradorsomething,

When you think you’re a king-maker but are really only a clown-appointer.

The scary thing is Jordan won with over 69% of the vote in his district.

remotelove,

That is not surprising. Ohio is about as red as it gets.

That’s not entirely accurate what about Sherrod Brown? He’s definitely facing a tough reelection but he is a three term senator.

andrewta,

How to find the worst person for the job. Look for the one trump supports

dragonflyteaparty,

Hmmm, maybe second worst to Trump himself.

Makes sense that Trump would endorse a fellow sex criminal.

GALM,

This is never going to stop being ridiculous is it?

Until they’re voted out of office… probably not

scaredoftrumpwinning,

I’m guessing it will get worse before it gets better there’s more than a year before we can vote these clowns out. The scary thing is we really pushed hard in 2022 to keep them out. Every election counts the local, midterms and presidential if we don’t work hard these clowns will be right back in.

Been that way for as long as I remember.

They’re getting exponentially more ridiculous though.
