TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio to become the next speaker of the House of Representatives, following the removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy. Trump praised Jordan's stance on crime, borders, the military/veterans, and the Second Amendment. The endorsement is seen as a blow to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who is also vying for the position. Jordan's controversial past as a wrestling coach at Ohio State University, where he was accused of failing to stop a team doctor from molesting wrestlers, has raised concerns. Additionally, the question of whether Rep. Matt Gaetz should remain in the GOP conference may become an early test for the leading candidates.
