Donald Trump gives his endorsement to Jim Jordan as the House Speaker

Donald Trump has given his endorsement to Congressman Jim Jordan's bid to become the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. Trump said that Jordan would be a "great" Speaker and has his full support. Jordan, who is known for his staunch conservative views, was one of the first Republicans to announce his candidacy for the position. He has been a vocal defender of Trump and led the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. However, Jordan may face opposition from centrist Republicans and is unlikely to receive any support from Democrats. Other potential candidates for the Speaker position include Steve Scalise, Kevin Hern, and Patrick McHenry. The process to appoint a new Speaker could take days or weeks as discussions among members commence. The tensions between Jordan's faction and current Speaker Kevin McCarthy led to the no-confidence vote that ousted McCarthy last week.
