Because of President Joe Biden's sagging poll numbers and the dour direction the nation is heading, plus worries over what many are calling cognitive decline, there is speculation Democrats might replace him at the top of the ticket for this year's election.
But Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, told Newsmax on Wednesday even though he belives Biden will stay in the race, it will not matter.
"I've heard the speculation on replacing [Biden] with [California Gov.] Gavin Newsom or whoever, and they'll do it sometime around the convention or something," Jordan told "The Chris Salcedo Show." "That may happen, but I don't think it matters because whether it's Joe Biden at the helm or some other Democrat, the left's policies are bad for the country."
Jordan, who is helping to lead the House impeachment inquiry into allegations of influence peddling and alleged corruption involving Biden and members of his family, said Americans have enough common sense to choose the right direction to take in November.
"This election is real simple. In three years and 11 days, we went from a secure border to no border. We went from safe streets to record crime, from $2 gas to $4 gas, from stable prices to record inflation, from strength in the Oval Office in President [Donald] Trump to weakness in Joe Biden. That's why we have Hamas and Hezbollah doing the terrible things they did to our best friend in the state of Israel … you name it. And, of course, these [federal] agencies [that] have been turned against the American people.
"That's the campaign. Who do you want in office? Which team are you on? The American people have common sense and they're going to say, We want Trump. We want that team [whether] it's Joe Biden, or if it's Newsome or whoever they put up."
