Just had a great conversation with President Trump about the Speaker’s race.
He is endorsing Jim Jordan, and I believe Congress should listen to the leader of our party.
I fully support Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House.

It shouldn’t be a question that Trump would simultaneously tease a stint as temporary Speaker, as is being pushed by the likes of Marjie Greene and even Sean Hannity–with Trump even going so far as claiming he’ll make an appearance in DC next week as the candidates for the race hold a closed-door forum for the GOP caucus. But we knew he didn’t really want the job. It requires actual work.
