U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan says he is
running for speaker of the
House. Jordan reportedly told
NPR he will announce his
campaign in a letter to House
Republicans Thursday. Jordan has
faced controversy for allegedly
disregarding sexual abuse claims
against a team doctor while he
was an assistant wrestling coach
at Ohio State University. As
Newsy has previously reported,
Jordan has continuously denied
he was aware of any alleged
sexual abuse. Current Speaker of
the House Paul Ryan told
reporters Thursday he still
supports House Majority Leader
Kevin McCarthy to succeed him.
