Jim Jordan, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, announced Friday he plans to mount an anti-establishment run for speaker of the House -- presuming Republicans keep control of the chamber.
“Should the American people entrust us with the majority again in the 116th Congress, I plan to run for Speaker of the House to bring real change to the House of Representatives," Jordan said in a statement to Fox News.
Jordan added, "President Trump has taken bold action on behalf of the American people. Congress has not held up its end of the deal, but we can change that. It’s time to do what we said.”
