Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) has announced he will seek the gavel. Jordan’s name was frequently thrown out in January during McCarthy’s 15-round trip to confirmation.
From The Daily Caller:
Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, was asked by reporters if he is running for Speaker, as many GOP members have nominated him for the job, to which he said, “Yes.”
McCarthy delivered a speech Tuesday night after being ousted as speaker, saying he will not be running for the position again.
Just after McCarthy addressed his conference where he told members he would not be seeking the speakership again, he delivered a speech in the U.S. Capitol, saying he is leaving the speakership with a sense of pride, accomplishment and optimism.
The U.S. House voted Tuesday to remove McCarthy as speaker after Democrats joined with eight House Republicans to vote for a motion to vacate the chair.
