Jim Jordan, a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, has been elected as the new House Republican leader. He won a secret ballot against Steve Scalise with a vote of 106 to 73, as reported by various news outlets.
This election comes on the heels of the Republican Party’s disappointing performance in the midterm elections, where they lost control of both chambers of Congress. Jordan will be stepping in to replace Mike Johnson and is set to lead the party’s opposition efforts moving forward.
