House Republicans Pick Jim Jordan, a Close Trump Ally, as Their Next Leader
A New York Times article reports that House Republicans elected Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, a close Donald Trump ally and Judiciary chairman, as their leader after their midterm losses, defeating Steve Scalise 106 to 73. It says Jordan, a Freedom Caucus co-founder once called a legislative terrorist, rebuilt his standing and will lead a diminished minority while shielding Trump from Democratic investigations.
