Story summary

House Republicans elected Jim Jordan as their new minority leader on November 10, 2026, after losing control of Congress following the midterm elections. The vote took place amid calls for fresh leadership, with Jordan defeating Steve Scalise, who had served as House Majority Leader. With Democrats set to take control of both legislative chambers in January, Republicans are preparing to face an expected wave of investigative actions against former President Trump and his allies. Jordan's election reflects a shift towards a more confrontational stance, given his history within the hardline Freedom Caucus and close ties to Trump.

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.
