According to a breaking Fox News report, House Judiciary Committee chairman and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan has announced his bid for Speaker of the House.
From Fox News:
Jordan said on Wednesday morning that he would step up to run for the job. House Republicans plan to hold a candidate forum next Tuesday and an election the following day.
e’ll likely have the support of conservatives and others in the right wing of the GOP conference, but it’s unclear if he can win the support of moderates.
Jordan is the leader of one of three House committees investigating President Biden and his family. That investigation culminated into an impeachment inquiry being led by the House Oversight Committee.
