Who is Jim Jordan? The 59-year-old Republican close to becoming the next US House Speaker

Hindustan Times  

Jim Jordan, the 59-year-old Republican representative from Ohio, is on the brink of becoming the next Speaker of the House. WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 16: Rep. Jim Jordan speaks briefly to reporters as he departs a House Republican Caucus at the U.S. Capitol October 16, 2023 in Washington, DC. Jordan’s unwavering loyalty was evident during the tumultuous aftermath of the 2020 presidential election when he echoed Trump's baseless claims of election fraud, garnering him favour among Trump supporters. What to expect from Jordan's speakership: If Jordan assumes the role of Speaker of the House, his hardline stances on issues like abortion, federal spending, and immigration will likely shape legislative debates.
