What Jim Jordan Promises?
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) speaks during an on-camera interview near the House Chambers during a series of votes in the U.S. Capitol Building on January 09, 2023 in Washington, DC. During 118th Congress's first day of business since electing a Speaker of the House, the House held a series of votes on a rules package with parameters for the House of Representatives.
Jim Jordan said that he will focus on the worsening public safety and rising crime numbers across the United States. He claims that the current administration has open-border policies, which cause chaos and leave the nation vulnerable. Jordan explained that the US government should address the rising crime in major cities.
He added that American leaders must reject soft-on-crime and pro-crime policies to prevent illegal activities. Aside from this, he also suggested reducing the government's spending by getting the country's fiscal house in order. Other things he suggested include improving the border and national security and constitutional oversight of the US federal bureaucracy.
To show that he can help achieve everything he mentioned, Jordan boasted his accomplishments in helping immigration enforcement, conducting oversight, and pushing for fiscal discipline throughout his career.
As of writing, it is hard to conclude that Jim Jordan will be like Kevin McCarthy. In the comment section of his official X announcement, many Americans questioned the accomplishments he mentioned.
Some of them are even asking for proof. Meanwhile, others have already concluded that he'll be another McCarthy. However, numerous US residents are also excited about his decision. They said that they'll support him as he tries to become the next House Speaker.
