Rep Jordan elected House GOP leader: What to expect

House Republicans on Tuesday picked Rep. Jim Jordan — the famously pugnacious pro-Trump fighter — to lead their party in the minority next year, according to multiple sources familiar. The vote was 106 to 73.

Republicans have chosen one of the party’s most aggressive and combative figures as the face of their party, a clear sign that they are ready for battle — not compromise — with Democrats next year.

Jordan, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, pitched himself to colleagues as the best-equipped to tee off an insurgent Democratic party, which will have a robust oversight agenda targeting Trump’s White House.
