Jim Jordan told Lauren Windsor last night that Trump is not just running for president, but will declare his candidacy “any day now”:

That’s pretty big news.
But Jordon’s spox clarified that he never told Winsor that Trump would be announcing soon:
Apparently Jim Jordan’s spokesperson has claimed he did not tell me tonight that Trump is imminently announcing his run for 2024. We can’t both be right. See for yourself, video coming tomorrow… stay tuned ? pic.twitter.com/9vozlOsBxJ

Fast forward to today and Windsor has now released the video of Jordan’s comments:
EXCLUSIVE–>
Jim Jordan: President Trump, he’s gonna run again.
Pete: You think so?
Jordan: I know so. Yeah, I talked to him yesterday. He’s about ready to announce after all of this craziness in Afghanistan… pic.twitter.com/Ndogdm7Ipl— Lauren Windsor (@lawindsor) September 3, 2021
To be honest, I believe Jordan’s spox is correct. Jordan did add, “He’s about to announce after all of this craziness in Afghanistan…”, but I don’t believe he meant it literally. I take that to suggest that Trump is itching to do something because of how terribly Biden wrecked Afghanistan, not that he’ll do so “any day now.”
Jordan’s confirmation that Trump is running is significant, claiming that he knows it’s genuine because he just spoke with Trump about it yesterday. Jordan, on the other hand, probably didn’t expect anyone to record him saying it.
