Republican Jim Jordan does not want to run again for the election of the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, according to consistent media reports. This is reported, among others, by the »Washington Post« . Previously, the confidant of former US President Donald Trump had already failed in two rounds of voting. Jordan will instead support interim spokesman Patrick McHenry for the office.
