Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) is leveraging his clout as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee to help President Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) get the Big, Beautiful Bill across the finish line.

Jordan told the Washington Reporter why he’s backing the bill that House GOP leadership is confident will pass the full House as soon as this week.

“President Trump’s main campaign promise was to secure the border and deport violent criminal illegal aliens,” Jordan said in an exclusive statement to the Reporter. “Our reconciliation package, which has already passed out of our Committee, helps him do just that.”

“Let’s all work together and get this package across the finish line in the House,” he added.

Over the course of several years, House Republicans have put together a reconciliation package that includes major wins for conservatives on everything from energy policy to immigration to school choice.

Trump mounted another push to convince a handful of GOP holdouts to give him a win over the past week, arguing that GOP “GRANDSTANDERS” are preventing his work to “fix the MESS that Biden and the Democrats gave us.”
