As the 2024 primary draws closer, prominent politicians and figures in the Republican Party have started to declare their allegiances primarily to former President Donald Trump, who has already declared his candidacy, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has not yet declared but is likely to at some point this year.
Trump earned the endorsement of one of the leading Republicans in the House who has conservative bonafides as someone who has fought the establishment during his tenure.
On Friday, Representative Jim Jordan (R-Oh.) clarified that he stands 100% behind Trump despite ‘liking’ and being friends with other candidates such as former Vice President Mike Pence and DeSantis.
Jordan has been a regular supporter of Trump’s, issuing subpoenas and investigating the indictment of Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
He was also a key ally of Trump’s in the House during his presidency.
Trump has received endorsements from other influential Republicans such as Senator Lindsey Graham (R-Sc.) and freshman Senator JD Vance (R-Oh.) as well as 40 other House members.

Conservative firebrand Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, declared Friday that he is “100% for President Trump” in the 2024 presidential election despite the ongoing legal issues facing the former president.
Speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of his speech to the National Rifle Association convention, Jordan argued Trump was the only president to do what he said he was going to do, and did so successfully despite the entire political establishment standing against him.
“No one has demonstrated that they will do what they said and get things done like he did, and he did it with everyone in that town against him. And that’s what I still respect about President Trump, and I’m for him all the way,” Jordan said when asked about the increasingly heated Republican presidential primary contest.
Alongside his certainty over Trump’s candidacy, Jordan stressed he “liked” all the current and potential candidates.
“I just talked to Vice President Pence. Great guy … Governor DeSantis, a great guy. When we formed the Freedom Caucus, there were nine of us. He was one of the nine. But I am 100% for President Trump,” he said.
