President Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office

President Trump on Thursday weighed in on the upcoming House Minority Leader election, signaling that he “might” make an endorsement if House Republicans can’t decide. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) does not plan to seek the role of House Minority Leader after serving three years as Speaker.

Current House Oversight Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH), who previously ran for House Speaker in 2023 after Kevin McCarthy was ousted by a Motion to Vacate, is is expected to face current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) for Minority Leader.

Asked if he would endorse one of the Republicans in the case of a deadlock, Trump said, "Well, I might."

"I mean, I don't think I'll have to. They'll end up picking somebody," he noted.

"But those are two tremendous people, great people."
