GOP regroups after midterm losses: Jim Jordan elected House Minority Leader, Thune re-elected to helm Senate
Following significant setbacks in the midterm elections, the Republican Party has restructured its congressional leadership for the upcoming 120th United States Congress, electing staunch Donald Trump ally Jim Jordan as House Minority Leader, retaining Tom Emmer as Minority Whip, and re-electing John Thune to helm Senate Republicans, Fox News reported.
House Republicans chose Jim Jordan to lead them in the House as the party enters the minority, according to the Los Angeles Times. The newspaper reported that Jordan defeated Steve Scalise in a secret ballot, with 106 votes to 73. The Guardian also reported Jordan’s election, while NPR had earlier reported that Republicans were preparing to select a new leader after their midterm defeat.
