Former President Donald Trump has officially thrown his support behind Representative Jim Jordan for the position of Speaker of the House. This endorsement was announced on October 6th and caused a stir in the political landscape.
The news broke when Representative Troy Nehls shared his conversation with Trump about the Speaker’s race on social media. Nehls believes that Congress should follow the lead of their party’s leader and back Jordan for the coveted position.
Trump’s endorsement is a testament to Jordan’s standing within the Republican party and his potential to effectively lead the House.

Earlier, it was reported that Rep. Jim Jordan had announced his bid for the House Speaker position. This move was seen as a strategic step by the Ohio representative, who has been a strong ally of Trump. The endorsement from the former president further solidifies Jordan’s candidacy and improves his chances of securing the position.
In a letter to his colleagues, Jordan emphasized the critical moment the nation is facing. He called for unity within the Republican conference to tackle the challenges confronting the country.
Jordan’s appeal for support is not only about his bid for the Speaker’s position but also a call for collective action to improve the country.
Interestingly, Trump’s endorsement of Jordan came as a surprise to many. Earlier in the day, Trump had hinted at accepting the House speakership temporarily while Republicans decide on a permanent replacement. However, his endorsement of Jordan indicates his confidence in the Ohio representative’s ability to lead the House.

Jordan’s bid for the Speaker’s position and his subsequent endorsement by Trump have brought other issues to the forefront. One such issue is the role of Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has faced criticism for his involvement in the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the Speaker’s post. However, Jordan has expressed his disagreement with efforts to oust Gaetz, describing him as a “talented member of Congress.”
The endorsement from Trump is not only a political move but also a reflection of the former president’s faith in Jordan’s capabilities. Trump’s statement on Truth Social highlighted Jordan’s achievements, both in sports and politics, and his commitment to key issues like crime, borders, military/veterans, and the 2nd Amendment.
