Jim Jordan to run for House speaker following McCarthy's removal

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan on Wednesday said he will run to be House speaker, making him the first Republican to announce his intentions to run for the position following Rep. Kevin McCarthy's removal on Tuesday.

Jordan confirmed he was running for speaker and said he had spoken with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), according to CNN.

Scalise, the No. 2 Republican, is also reportedly considering running for speaker after McCarthy said he would not enter the race for the position again.

Jordan, who was elected in 2006 and founded the conservative House Freedom Caucus, has already received an outpouring of GOP support, including from Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who lead the push to oust McCarthy.

"My mentor Jim Jordan would be great!" Gaetz wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

GOP Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Mike Carey of Ohio also endorsed Jordan for speaker.

Jordan serves as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and has worked closely with House Oversight Chair James Comer, R-Ky., in the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.

If Trump was Speaker, he'd be able to subpoena the DOJ crooks persecuting him

He'd cut off funding for the FBI that raided his house

He'd impeach Joe Biden

He'd cut off Ukraine funding

He'd impeach Mayorkas, Garland & Wray

He'd be the most powerful man in America

Like it or lump it, McCarthy is a Republican, No democrat will votes for a Republican Speaker, and vis versa.

The RINO meltdowns today have been absolutely epic.

The Dims screwed them. Baris has a good lock on what happened.

Republicans are pissed their "friends across the aisle" didn't save Kevin McCarthy, and are now taking their revenge by evicting Pelosi, Hoyer, etc.

Republicans leaders are acting like this because they just found out something their base has known all along.

Their "friends across the aisle" are in truth their enemies, who will slit their proverbial throats and stab them in the back any chance you give them.

Well, goetz knows full and well that that proposal will never sail, even if it does
pass the House, it will never survive the Senate.. 

Who gets the Speakership, Conservative Jordan, or RINO Scalise?
