Cheney Warns Republicans Against Electing Trump-Backed Jim Jordan as House Speaker

Liz Cheney claimed Republicans cannot be relied on to "defend the constitution" if they vote for Jim Jordan as House Speaker.

Cheney criticized Jordan, saying he knew more than any other House member about Trump's January 6th plans.

Cheney said she doesn't think Jordan will become Speaker, but if he does, Republicans can't be counted on to defend the Constitution.

Trump endorsed Jordan for Speaker on Truth Social, calling him a "GREAT Speaker" with his "Complete & Total Endorsement!"

Previously, Trump offered to temporarily step in as Speaker until the GOP could unite behind a leader.
