Trump posted on Reality Social:
Congressman Jim Jordan has been a STAR lengthy earlier than making his very profitable journey to Washington, D.C., representing Ohio’s 4th Congressional District. Revered by all, he’s now Chairman of the Home Judiciary Committee. As President, I had the respect of presenting Jim with our Nation’s highest civilian award, The Presidential Medal of Freedom. A lot is discovered from sports activities, and Jim was a grasp!

Jim Jordan Doesn’t Have The Votes to Win
Punchbowl Information reported that Jordan doesn’t have practically sufficient votes to win, “But even a Trump endorsement — with all that it carries — could not get Jordan to 218. Though we hold listening to that folks like Jordan as a result of he’s not at present within the management and may management the hardliners…At this level, about one-quarter of the 221 Home Republicans have dedicated publicly to Jordan or Scalise. Which means neither is remotely near nailing down a majority of the convention, not to mention the 218 votes wanted on the ground.”
Neither Scalise nor Jordan have the votes to win, so the pipedream that there might be a speaker elected subsequent week is beginning to crumble. Trump’s lack of ability to maneuver the Republican caucus reveals his declining affect. Donald Trump guidelines the Republican Occasion by concern, however there’s not a lot for incumbent Home Republicans to concern when the previous president has no energy.
Trump’s endorsement of Jim Jordan appears to be like like one other loser, and his poor political instincts have revealed that he can’t even choose a winner or sway an election with solely a pair hundred Republicans voting.
