House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, scored a major victory in his quest for the speaker's gavel on Monday.

In a Monday tweet, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., announced he would be supporting Jordan's speakership bid.

Rogers was a major opponent of Jordan's push for speaker, so his flip is a big win for the Republican speaker nominee.

In fact, Rogers was adamant about not supporting Jordan for speaker, even saying last week that "there was nothing that Jordan could do to get his support as Speaker of the House."
