Jim Jordan wins House GOP minority leader race
Jordan won support from conservatives seeking a new direction after the midterm losses and will lead House Republicans into the minority in January.
- House Republicans elected Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan as their new minority leader on Tuesday, defeating House Majority Leader Steve Scalise in a secret ballot.
- Following the party's worst midterm electoral drubbing in half a century, Speaker Mike Johnson stepped aside, opening the leadership race for his successor.
- According to CNN, Jordan defeated Scalise with a vote of 106-73, ending Scalise's decade-plus tenure leading House Republicans. The result marked a significant shift from their previous contest three years ago.
- Jordan warned of coming Democratic investigations, stating "I am battle-tested on the oversight front, and I know the Democrats' playbook." He will lead Republicans in the Democratic-controlled Congress starting next year.
- The leadership shift positions House Republicans to pivot from recent electoral setbacks as Jordan prepares to lead the minority against a Democratic-controlled Congress in 2028. Reclaiming the majority will prove a steep climb given the scope of midterm defeats.
