Jordan secures Oversight ranking member role after Meadows suddenly steps aside (link: http://hill.cm/V8PJmU0) hill.cm/V8PJmU0
Very good news about Jordan ....
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) abruptly stepped aside on Thursday to allow his House Freedom Caucus ally, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), to run uncontested for the ranking member role on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — a position that he won.
Jordan, who won the race with no other competitors to challenge him, is expected to be a fierce defender of President Trump when Democrats take control of the panel next Congress. They are expected to become involved in a series of investigations into the Trump administration.
