FIRST ON FOX: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is joining President Donald Trump this weekend at the NCAA men’s wrestling championships, a source familiar with his plans tells Fox News Digital.
The White House confirmed Friday that Trump would attend the event with Jordan and Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa.
McCormick previously confirmed that Trump would be in attendance at the event in the senator’s home state of Pennsylvania.
“I’m thrilled to be in Philadelphia this weekend with [Trump] for the [NCAA Wrestling] Championship,” McCormick wrote on X. “I grew up wrestling in small towns across PA and at West Point. It taught me grit, resilience, and hard work.”
