Jim Jordan (R\u2011Ohio) as their new leader Tuesday, defeating Rep. Steve Scalise (R\u2011La.) 106-73. A Freedom Caucus founder and close Trump ally, Jordan\u2019s victory is seen as a break from outgoing Speaker Mike Johnson\u2019s approach, with whom Scalise had worked closely. After a poor midterm showing, the GOP will enter the minority in January under Jordan\u2019s leadership.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-blog-post__content s-wysiwyg s-wysiwyg--blog\">\n<div style=\"margin-bottom:30px;\" id=\"elevenlabs-audionative-widget\" data-height=\"90\" data-width=\"100%\" data-frameborder=\"no\" data-scrolling=\"no\" data-publicuserid=\"cb0d9922301244fcc1aeafd0610a8e90a36a320754121ee126557a7416405662\" data-playerurl=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/player\/index.html\" >Loading the <a href=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/text-to-speech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elevenlabs Text to Speech<\/a> AudioNative Player&#8230;<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/elevenlabs.io\/player\/audioNativeHelper.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script>                            <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/live-updates\/2026\/11\/10\/congress\/jim-jordan-house-republican-leader-01159192\">chose<\/a> Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to be their next leader in a closed-door meeting Tuesday. Jordan, a founder of the Freedom Caucus and close ally of President Donald Trump, beat out Rep.

As House Majority Leader, Scalise had worked closely with outgoing Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA); Jordan\u2019s victory is widely seen as signalling a break with Johnson\u2019s leadership.
