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!”

    Makes sense that Trump would endorse a fellow sex criminal.

      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.

      Until they’re voted out of office… probably not

      Been that way for as long as I remember.

      They’re getting exponentially more ridiculous though.

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

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

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