Jim Jordan and Senator Dave McCormick will join Donald Trump at the NCAA Men's Wrestling Championships in Pennsylvania, bringing political attention to the high-profile sports event.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is gearing up to join former President Donald Trump at the NCAA Men's Wrestling Championships this weekend, according to insider sources.

The White House confirmed on Friday that Trump will attend the event alongside Jordan and Senator Dave McCormick, R-Pa., adding a dose of political star power to the already high-energy gathering in Pennsylvania.

McCormick, who proudly hails from the Keystone State, shared his excitement on X (formerly Twitter). "I’m thrilled to be in Philadelphia this weekend with [Trump] for the [NCAA Wrestling] Championship," McCormick wrote. "I grew up wrestling in small towns across PA and at West Point. It taught me grit, resilience, and hard work." Sounds like he’s ready to relive his glory days—minus the headgear.

Jim Jordan himself isn’t just tagging along for the photo ops. The Ohio congressman has some serious wrestling credentials, having won the NCAA Division I title twice during his college years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He later served as an assistant coach at Ohio State University’s wrestling program from 1987 to 1995. Talk about a man who knows how to grapple with more than just politics.

Fox News Digital reached out to Jordan’s office for comment, but it seems his team is keeping mum for now. Maybe he's saving the trash talk for the mats.

Trump’s appearance at the championship event comes as no surprise; he’s been known to make appearances where crowds and cameras converge. The dynamic between Trump, Jordan, and McCormick will undoubtedly be one to watch—not just for wrestling fans but for political observers too.

Editor's Comments

Jim Jordan and Donald Trump teaming up for a wrestling championship? This is the kind of headline that makes you double-check if you’re reading sports news or political drama. While Jordan’s wrestling creds are legit, you have to wonder if the event is set to be more about grappling for attention than grappling on the mat.
