Jordan beat out current Majority Leader Steve Scalise in his third attempt to lead Republicans on the Hill. The ballot results were 106 for Jordan and 73 for Scalise.
A co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus and prominent MAGA figure, Jordan pitched himself as best prepared to engage in political combat with the incoming Democratic House majority, noting he was “battle tested on the oversight front” in a letter to members. He currently chairs the House Judiciary Committee and previously chaired the Oversight Committee.
So the republican party has decided to lean into MAGA?
Jordan produces the best theatre.
Jim Jordan is my favorite witness interrogator. Good choice.
Tom Emer retains his position as GOP Whip over August Pfluger.
103 votes for Emer
76 for Pfluger
