Story summary

Jim Jordan, a hardline ally of President Donald Trump, was elected as the leader of the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on November 10, 2026, defeating fellow conservative Steve Scalise. This decision came after Republicans suffered significant losses in the recent midterm elections, losing control of both chambers of Congress. Jordan's appointment reflects a shift towards more confrontational strategies against Democrats as the party prepares for an expected onslaught of investigations into Trump and his allies. The election saw House Speaker Mike Johnson step down from leadership to make way for new blood within the Republican ranks.
