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

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Jim Jordan, a key ally, for the position of House speaker. Trump praised Jordan's stance on crime, borders, the military/veterans, and the Second Amendment, and expressed confidence that he would be a great speaker. This endorsement appears to take Trump himself out of the running for the speakership, following endorsements from other GOP allies. Jordan, a former conservative bomb thrower, has undergone a political transformation in recent years and aligned himself with GOP leadership. However, his reputation and the GOP's slim majority may pose challenges to his bid for speaker. The House GOP conference will hold a meeting on Monday to discuss the speaker election.
