Jim Jordan has been chosen to lead House Republicans after the party lost control of the chamber in last week’s midterm elections, according to Dutch news agency ANP. The Ohio congressman, a close ally of Donald Trump and chair of the House Judiciary Committee, defeated fellow Republican Steve Scalise, who currently leads the party’s House caucus.
Jordan is described by ANP as a staunch conservative. His appointment comes as Republicans prepare to leave the House majority: Speaker Mike Johnson has said he does not intend to lead the caucus when newly elected members take office in January. Johnson is expected to lose the speakership to Democrat Hakeem Jeffries.
