US House Republicans select Jim Jordan as new minority leader
US House Republicans have elected Representative Jim Jordan as their new minority leader following congressional elections.
Republicans in the US House of Representatives have selected Jim Jordan of Ohio as their new House leader following elections in which the party lost its congressional majority to Democrats.
Meeting in closed-door votes, House Republicans chose Jordan to head the party's conference in the upcoming legislative session as minority leader. The leadership election comes as Republicans reorganize for their role in opposition in both the House and the Senate, where party members also selected their leadership team for the new Congress. Jordan, who has represented Ohio for years and previously held prominent congressional positions, succeeded in securing the leadership post.
