Jordan confirmed to reporters he is running for Speaker and that he will be circulating a note to his colleagues announcing his run.

"Yes," Jordan said when asked to confirm reports that he is running for the post. "We are sending a letter to all of our colleagues."

"Should the American people entrust us with the majority again in the 116th Congress, I plan to run for Speaker of the House to bring real change to the House of Representatives," he said in a formal statement. "President Trump has taken bold action on behalf of the American people. Congress has not held up its end of the deal, but we can change that. It's time to do what we said."

I think he would surround himself with folks like Mark Meadows and not a bunch RINO's. What a pleasure that would be.

I still can't believe all this is happening.

Kevin McCarthy gives the real McCarthy a bad name. If he were alive today, he'd have called Kevin a communist sympathizer.

Get ready for the left to ramp up those sex assault claims when he was a wrestling coach. They will try to destroy him.

I hope they try it.  He has a large number of advocates from that time period who are willing to speak out for him.  It will also be funny to watch Dems try and take shots at him.

It sounds great but can he get the votes? The real conservatives are definitely a small minority in the House. It would be as unlikely as Trump winning. Oh wait...
