US House Republicans elected conservative Jim Jordan as their new minority leader on Tuesday, a week after Democrats won majorities in both chambers in the midterm elections. Jordan, an Ohio Republican and House Judiciary Committee chairman, won a secret ballot vote, according to Punchbowl News and Fox News. Speaker Mike Johnson declined to run for the position. Senate Republicans also met to decide on leadership, with John Thune expected to retain his post. The elections will shape Republican strategy as a minority in Congress during the final two years of Donald Trump's presidency.
