Jeff Van Drew endorsed Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House early Thursday.
“I have a strong relationship with Jim,” Van Drew told Maria Bartiromo while also allowing that the Ohio Congressman’s competition – Louisiana’s Steve Scaliese – is also a strong conversation.
Fox News reported later Thursday that President Trump may also endorse Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
The House will convene next week to make its selection; the last election went 15 rounds before Kevin McCarthy finally cleared the required number of votes.
