Story summary

House Republicans elected Jim Jordan as their new minority leader on November 10, 2026, following Democrats' victory in the midterm elections that shifted control of Congress. The election took place after current Speaker Mike Johnson decided not to seek re-election. Jordan, a former Freedom Caucus co-founder and Trump ally from Ohio, defeated Majority Leader Steve Scalise for the position. Republicans are preparing for a diminished role in the next Congress as they face an expected onslaught of investigations by Democrats into the Trump administration and its allies.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
