WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio says he’s running to become House speaker next year.
Jordan is a founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which has roughly 30 members.
He wrote to fellow Republicans that the party has disappointed voters by “caving so quickly” to Democrats. He says President Donald Trump has taken “bold action” but Congress hasn’t fulfilled “its end of the deal.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan is retiring.
