"Trump Throws Support Behind Jim Jordan for House Speaker, Shaking Up GOP Leadership"

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for House speaker following the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) by far-right Republicans. Jordan, a vocal Trump supporter and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has announced his plans to run for speaker. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) has also declared his candidacy. House Republicans are searching for a replacement for McCarthy, with other potential candidates including Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.). Some House Republicans have even called on Trump himself to seek the speaker post, although Trump has expressed his focus on the White House race.
