Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan announced that he is running for the House Speaker position after Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted.
He boasted many accomplishments to promise Americans he'll be the best choice for the position. But the question is, will he be different from McCarthy?
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan Runs for House Speaker
According to The Blaze's latest report, Jim Jordan published a letter detailing what he'll focus on if he becomes the next House Speaker.
Aside from this, he also provided his recent accomplishments to show he's fit for the job. He sent his letter to the Congress of the United States on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
"We are at a critical crossroads in our nation's history. Now is the time for our Republican conference to come together to keep our promise to Americans," said Jordan in his official letter, which he posted on X.
"The problems we face are challenging, but they are not insurmountable. We can focus on the changes that improve the country and unite us in offering real solutions," Jordan added.
At the end of his letter, the US representative asked for the public's and lawmakers' support as he ran for the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
What Jim Jordan Promises?
Jim Jordan said that he will focus on the worsening public safety and rising crime numbers across the United States. He claims that the current administration has open-border policies, which cause chaos and leave the nation vulnerable. Jordan explained that the US government should address the rising crime in major cities.
He added that American leaders must reject soft-on-crime and pro-crime policies to prevent illegal activities. Aside from this, he also suggested reducing the government's spending by getting the country's fiscal house in order. Other things he suggested include improving the border and national security and constitutional oversight of the US federal bureaucracy.
To show that he can help achieve everything he mentioned, Jordan boasted his accomplishments in helping immigration enforcement, conducting oversight, and pushing for fiscal discipline throughout his career.
As of writing, it is hard to conclude that Jim Jordan will be like Kevin McCarthy. In the comment section of his official X announcement, many Americans questioned the accomplishments he mentioned.
Some of them are even asking for proof. Meanwhile, others have already concluded that he'll be another McCarthy. However, numerous US residents are also excited about his decision. They said that they'll support him as he tries to become the next House Speaker.
