SCOOP: Jim Jordan joining Trump at NCAA men's wrestling championships

The White House confirmed Friday that Trump would attend the event with Jordan and Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa.

"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."

Jordan himself was a noted wrestling champion during his time in high school and later at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he won the NCAA Division I men's wrestling title twice. 

He was later an assistant coach at Ohio State University's wrestling program from 1987 to 1995.

Fox News Digital emailed Jordan's office for comment but did not immediately hear back.
