Donald Trump Caught ‘Off Guard’ By Endorsement Of Jim Jordan For Speaker

As RadarOnline.com recently reported, Fox News was supposed to conduct an open forum interview with the Speaker candidates later this month but was forced to scrap the scheduled program after the candidates pulled out due to severe backlash from their own party.

One Republican, Rep. Carlos Gimenez of Florida, criticized the idea, stating that the question of who should be Speaker should be debated internally among Republicans rather than broadcast on TV. He described the idea as “horrible” and expressed concerns about the candidates’ decision-making.

A spokesman for Jordan stated that the Ohio congressman would not participate in the event until he had the opportunity to address the conference first, which is currently scheduled for Tuesday, October 10.

Similarly, Scalise’s spokesperson confirmed that the majority leader would also not be participating.
