"Trump's Endorsement: Jim Jordan for House Speaker Revealed"

Former President Donald Trump, after Kevin McCarthy was ousted as House Speaker, sought a replacement who would be loyal to him. Trump privately scoffed at the idea of more moderate members and instead expressed support for Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. Initially planning to endorse Jordan during a GOP meeting in Washington, Trump's plans were disrupted when Rep. Troy Nehls unexpectedly tweeted about Trump's endorsement. Trump was then forced to publicly affirm his endorsement of Jordan, and his plan to travel to Washington was scrapped.
