House Republicans elect Jim Jordan as minority leader

House Republicans elected Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan by secret ballot on Nov. 10, giving him 106 votes to Steve Scalise’s 73. He will lead the Republican minority in the 120th Congress, which begins Jan. 3, 2027. Speaker Mike Johnson’s official House announcement confirmed Jordan’s selection. Asharq News places the vote in the context of Jordan’s history of challenging Republican leaders before becoming one of the party’s prominent figures. The outlet describes his political style as confrontational and notes his close relationship with President Donald Trump. It identifies leading a reduced Republican conference from the minority and defending the Trump administration before the incoming Democratic majority as key challenges.
