Monday, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Saks) announced he was backing U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for House Speaker after a days-long ordeal that involved a possible Rogers' deal with U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

Rogers made the announcement on social media Monday morning.

Rogers' decision to endorse Jordan comes as he was threatened with a ballot challenge by members of the Alabama Republican Party.

The major announcement comes as a vote on U.S. House Speaker is scheduled for Tuesday and is expected to pave the way for Jordan's speakership.
