Jim Jordan unveils his vision for the House under his leadership as speaker.
Jim Jordan Begins Bid for House Speaker, Outlining His Vision for Leadership
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) has officially launched his campaign for House speaker, aiming to fill the vacancy left by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) following an unprecedented vote. Jordan wasted no time in painting a vivid picture of what his speakership would entail, detailing his plans to prevent a government shutdown, unite the Republican Party, prioritize key legislation, and continue investigations into the Biden administration.
Preventing a Government Shutdown
Jordan, who opposed the recent measure to extend government funding, proposed a bipartisan bill introduced by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) as a solution. This bill, known as the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act, would require all members of Congress to continue working if appropriations are not passed on time, ensuring that a shutdown is avoided. Jordan emphasized the importance of passing this bill and focusing on legislation without the threat of a shutdown looming.
Uniting the Republican Party
With intraparty disputes causing division among Republicans, Jordan stressed the need for unity in order to combat the influence of the radical Left. He acknowledged the push for House rules to change, preventing a single member from forcing a vote on removing the speaker, and emphasized that any rule changes should be made collectively by the Republican conference.
Priority Legislation
Jordan highlighted immigration as his top legislative priority, proposing a bill that would halt the processing and release of new migrants into the country. He also reiterated his opposition to providing further aid to Ukraine’s defensive war against Russia, questioning the objective and scrutinizing how previous aid has been spent.
Continuing Investigations into Biden
As a member of the select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Jordan has been leading investigations into the alleged weaponization of the Justice Department by the Biden administration. He assured that these investigations would continue if he were elected speaker, emphasizing the importance of oversight and fulfilling the constitutional duty of holding the executive branch accountable.
Jordan’s bid for speaker has already garnered endorsements from members of the Ohio delegation, signaling early support for his campaign. With House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) also in the running, the race for House speaker promises to be a highly contested one.
