Donald Trump had a big announcement.
It shook up Washington, D.C.
And Donald Trump revealed which Republican should be speaker of the House.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
Matt Gaetz led a group of conservatives in the House of Representatives to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House.
McCarthy failed to live up to his end of the bargain that he struck to win the votes to become speaker by colluding with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling and maintain the spending levels for Joe Biden’s woke and weaponized socialist government.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan are the two announced candidates.
Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the GOP 2024 presidential nomination and still recognized as the leader of the Republican Party.
It was only natural that Trump would make his feelings known about who he would prefer to be the speaker of the House.
Trump endorsed Jordan for the job in a post on Truth Social.
“Congressman Jim Jordan has been a STAR long before making his very successful journey to Washington, D.C., representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District. 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. So much is learned from sports, and Jim was a master! While attending Graham High School, he won State Championships all four years, a rarity, and compiled an amazing 156-1 record. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Jim became a two-time NCAA Division l Wrestling Champion. He won his 1985-86 NCAA Championship Matches in his weight class. Jim has a masters degree in Education from Ohio State University & 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!” Trump declared.
Jim Jordan helped co-found the House Freedom Caucus in 2015 to allow conservatives to band together in opposition to establishment RINOs constantly passing Democrat budgets.
Jordan grew outraged over the fact that despite Republicans winning a historic landslide in the 2010 midterm elections, GOP leadership saw it as the job of the Republican majority to fully fund Barack Obama’s agenda.
Kevin McCarthy continued that go-along-to-get-along leadership style and now he is out.
Republicans are looking for a conservative who will actually fight a Democrat president to rein in socialist spending.
And Donald Trump believes Jim Jordan is that candidate.
