Jordan was the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee from 2019 to 2020. In February 2020, he left that committee to become the ranking member of the United States House Committee on the Judiciary.
In college, he was a wrestler.[1][2]
After the House removed Kevin McCarthy from the speakership on October 3, 2023, Jordan launched a bid for the speakership.[3][4] His speakership bid has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump.[5]
