The Spin


Left narrative

Jim Jordan aided Trump in his illegal attempts to overturn the 2020 election and conspired with the then-President on the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. If he were to assume this role, it would be disruptive if not dangerous for America's political climate.

Right narrative

Jim Jordan can unite all wings of the Republican party and already enjoys backing from most members. He has doggedly held the Biden administration to account over the past three years, has consistently stood up for Republican values, and could be the perfect solution for the post-McCarthy era.
