Story summary

On November 10, 2026, Jim Jordan, a hardline ally of President Donald Trump and former Oversight Committee chairman, was elected as the new minority leader of the U.S. House Republicans, defeating fellow conservative Steve Scalise. This election came after Republicans suffered significant losses in the midterm elections, losing control of both chambers of Congress to Democrats. The leadership change reflects a shift towards more combative tactics against the incoming Democratic majority, with Jordan promising to unify factions within the Republican party and combat investigations into Trump and his allies.
