Rep. Jim Jordan’s Bid for Speaker of the House Brings Attention to His Role in Spreading Lies About the 2020 Election

Washington, DC – Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has announced his bid for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, a move that has put him in the spotlight. However, what has been largely omitted from the conversation is the prominent role he played in spreading lies about the 2020 election and rallying supporters to contest the results, an effort that culminated in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

In an interview with “Face the Nation” on October 8, 2023, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) revealed that she voted against Rep. Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House because promises made to her were not kept. Mace said, “When you shake a hand, make a promise, you ought to keep it.”

Jordan has been a staunch conservative throughout his career, and has been working on very specific issues for a very long time. He has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump for the Speaker of the House position, and it is expected that his bid will bring even more drama and chaos to the House of Representatives.

The implications of Jordan’s bid for the Speaker of the House are far-reaching, and it remains to be seen how his history of spreading lies and rallying supporters to contest the 2020 election will affect his chances. It is clear, however, that the race for the Speaker of the House will be a closely watched one.
