Rep. James Daniel Jordan is an American politician currently serving in his ninth term in the U.S. House of Representatives as the representative for Ohio's 4th congressional district since 2007. A member of the Republican Party, he is a former collegiate wrestler (winning two NCAA National Championships) and college wrestling coach. Jordan is currently the nominee of the House Republican Conference for the October 2023 Speaker of the House election.
Jordan is a founding member of the Right-wing populist House Freedom Caucus, serving as its first chair from 2015 to 2017, and as its vice chair since 2017. He was the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee from 2019 to 2020. He vacated that position to become the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, of which he became chair in 2023. Jordan is a close ally of former president Donald Trump.
On the day of the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol, Jordan was one of the members of Congress who voted against counting the electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. He has also been criticized for his role in the Trump administration's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Despite his controversial views and actions, Jordan is a popular figure among many Republican voters. He is known for his aggressive questioning style and his willingness to challenge Democratic leaders. He is also a strong supporter of President Trump's agenda.
Jordan's candidacy for Speaker of the House is in doubt because of concerns among some Republicans about his fitness for the position. Some Republicans have expressed concerns about his close ties to Trump, his role in the January 6 attack, and his lack of experience in leadership positions.
If Jordan's candidacy fails, Republicans and Democrats are likely to coalesce around a plan to formally elect Rep. Patrick McHenry as speaker pro tempore. The speaker pro tempore is the third-ranking member of the House and presides over the House in the absence of the Speaker and the Speaker pro tempore. Electing McHenry as speaker pro tempore would allow Congress to perform basic functions, such as passing legislation and confirming presidential appointments.
