The question-and-answer session for House Republicans before electing their leader was largely cordial, Fox News Digital was told.

Jordan's victory comes fresh off the back of a historic loss for Republicans across both state and federal races.

asserted
Davidson → rise → Digital
Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Wis., another Jordan ally, told Fox News Digital the Ohio Republican "understands what we're up against," adding, "His ability to communicate is really kind of unrivaled by anybody else in the House right now."
Jordan has long been among the House GOP's brightest stars, rapidly gaining influence over the last decade as one of Trump's most vocal supporters in Washington.
He will now be the go-to defender as Democrats ready a barrage of investigations targeting Trump's Cabinet, family and business interests.

Democrats → tell → interests
