Former President Donald Trump endorsed Representative Jim Jordan's bid for Speaker of the House, saying Jordan "will be a GREAT Speaker of the House, & has my Complete & Total Endorsement!" Trump has been approached about potentially serving as Speaker himself in a temporary capacity to help unify Republicans, though he says he is focused on his 2024 presidential campaign. Some Republicans have publicly supported Trump serving as Speaker, but it is unclear if he could meet the requirements given his legal issues. The lack of a Speaker means the House is currently unable to conduct business.
