Jordan, a leading Republican congressman from Ohio, has been heavily campaigning over the past weekend to win the support of his colleagues and secure the speaker’s gavel. He has proposed a mix of policy promises and personal assurances that he will deliver on the goals of a GOP caucus increasingly frustrated with outgoing House speaker Paul Ryan.
Jordan has vowed to support President Donald Trump’s agenda if elected as speaker, promising to strengthen border security and pass sweeping tax reform. Additionally, he has promised to install conservative allies to key committees, such as the influential Rules Committee, and has pledged to work to reduce spending and deficit spending.
If elected, Jordan would become the first non-career politician to become speaker since the late Thomas Reed in 1889. Jordan’s significant popularity among conservative members of the Republican Party is believed to be one of the primary factors in his support for the speakership.
Jordan’s campaign is said to be gaining momentum, with conservative members now coalescing behind his candidacy and Ryan increasingly resigned to the fact that he must vacate his speaker’s position soon. The outcome of the race to become the next House speaker will likely be determined in the coming days.
