House Republicans Elect Their Minority Leader for the 120th Congress: Representative Jordan of Ohio Defeats Scalise by 106 Votes to 73
House Republicans on Tuesday elected Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio as their minority leader for the 120th Congress. Jordan defeated Representative Steve Scalise by 106 votes to 73.
Jordan also chairs the House Judiciary Committee. The eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth rest with that committee after Tuesday's referral vote of 211 to 204, and the House held no new vote on the impeachment file on Wednesday.
Jordan was reported as saying after his election that when the Democrats provide more government, the Republicans will provide more freedom, and that his stated purpose is to regain the House majority.
Across the Capitol, Senate Republicans re-elected Senator John Thune as their leader on Tuesday and chose Senator Moreno to lead the committee for the 2028 cycle.
The new Congress takes office on January 3, when Democrats take the House majority. The impeachment articles filed in this Congress expire at that point, and new ones would be required to proceed.
