In the wake of sweeping midterm losses that relegated them to the minority, House Republicans selected Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio as their next minority leader in a 106–73 vote over Rep. Steve Scalise.
A fierce loyalist of Donald Trump and co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus, Jordan steps into leadership promising an aggressive, oversight-heavy posture against the incoming Democratic majority.
Presenting himself as a "battle-tested" operative built for partisan combat, Jordan promised to unify a diminished GOP conference. His election signals a sharp pivot toward confrontational opposition tactics as Republicans prepare to challenge Democrats across every committee room.
