"Jim Jordan's Speaker Bid and Potential Gaetz Ouster: A GOP Caucus Shake-Up"

Rep. Jim Jordan has revealed that he discussed his bid for the next speaker with former President Donald Trump and expressed his support for Rep. Matt Gaetz, despite the controversy surrounding Gaetz's role in Kevin McCarthy's removal. Jordan stated that he disagrees with Gaetz's actions but believes he is a talented member of Congress. He also mentioned that he would support changing the rule that allows a single member to make a motion to remove a speaker if that is what the Republican Conference wants. Jordan expressed confidence in his ability to work with President Joe Biden if he becomes speaker and described his relationship with Senate GOP counterpart Mitch McConnell as "fine" and "good."
