Jordan won the secret ballot 106–73 and will succeed Speaker Mike Johnson as the party’s House leader. Senate Republicans reelected John Thune to lead them in the next Congress.
US House Republicans elected Ohio congressman Jim Jordan as their leader in a secret ballot, defeating current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. Jordan will lead the party’s opposition to the incoming Democratic majority.
Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress in the midterms. House Speaker Mike Johnson subsequently announced that he would leave party leadership. Jordan will succeed him as the House’s top Republican, not as speaker.
The ballot was a party leadership vote by current House Republicans and Republican members-elect projected to win their races. Punchbowl News first reported Jordan’s victory.
Jordan chairs the House Judiciary Committee and is a longtime ally of President Donald Trump. As minority leader, he will be his party’s principal spokesperson and negotiator in the House.
Senate Republicans, meanwhile, reelected current Majority Leader Thune without a challenger in a closed-door vote. Jordan and Thune are set to lead their parties’ minorities in their respective chambers from January.
