Off The Press | Today's News Minute October 17, 2023 - Jordan Fights For Speakership #breakingnews

President Joe Biden is heading to Israel on Wednesday in another show of support for the Jewish State’s bid to eliminate Hamas in Gaza. Biden plans to commit to helping Israel militarily and will pledge to evacuate thousands of Americans.

At home, the House is on the verge of a vote to pick a Republican speaker. Ohio’s Jim Jordan is still a few votes short and is working overtime to get the job.

In one of the several court cases former President Donald Trump is facing, a judge slapped on a gag order. But at an Iowa campaign stop, Trump said that amounted to silencing his effort to win back the presidency and vowed to go to jail instead of shutting up.

And congratulations are in order for Biden. He just passed his thousandth day in office. Well, minus the 300 days he has vacation at his two Delaware homes, of course.
