Republicans, reeling from an election drubbing, will choose their leadership in Congress
NBC News reports that House and Senate Republicans, routed in the 2026 midterms, meet Tuesday to choose their leadership, with Speaker Mike Johnson stepping down and setting up a minority-leader race between Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan. Some Senate Republicans, including David McCormick, want the vote delayed to debate the election's lessons, while Democrats also weigh their own teams.
