Donald Trump has endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan, a strong supporter, to be the next House speaker.
Kevin McCarthy became the first House speaker in history to be ousted from office by a 'motion to vacate' on October 3, when eight hardline Republicans voted with Democrats to remove him.This immediately triggered a race within the Republicans to replace him. Both House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan, a Donald Trump ally who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, have announced that they are standing.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom told Newsweek: 'Steve Scalise is the 8/11 odds-on favourite to succeed Kevin McCarthy after the latter became the first speaker of the House of Representatives in history to be removed. Kevin Hern follows behind Scalise at 9/2, with Jim Jordan 8/1 and Elise Stefanik 10/1 to be voted in.'Betfair also offers odds of 20/1 on Hakeem Jeffries, who leads the House Democratic Caucus, becoming the next speaker, along with 25/1 for Trump.
