Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, a key member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, announced Wednesday that he intends to run for House minority leader -- setting up a challenge to Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
“I plan to run for minority leader,” Jordan told The Hill, before taking a swipe at how the Republican caucus acted under outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
"In 2016, the American people elected Republicans to come here and change this town. I think the president is doing just that, but I don't think they see the same intensity from folks in Congress, folks in the House of Representatives," he said.

Jordan all the way.
I almost say, Jordan gets it or I’m done w the Republicans.
Any existing leadership NEEDS PURGED!! They had their chance!
Hope he has the votes because McCarthy is pure GOPe.
McCarthy is a Ryan stooge. Forget him!
McCarthy=Ryan 2.0
We need a fighter to counter the demos, Jordan would do that!
I like him, simply for stating the damn obvious TRUTH! The last Republican leadership in Congress did NOT get it done - PERIOD! Purge the leaders and try again!!
Good. This needs to happen.
McCarthy and Ryan completely dropped the ball.
Maybe Kevin tried a bit more towards the end, but he still failed. In an economy like this, there should have been no Rat victories at all. If he didn’t want to talk about immigration, he damn sure could have been the messenger for that.
Jordan will be the Speaker in two years after Trump uses Pelosi for a punching bag.
It should be Jordan.
The Boehner, Ryan, Cantor, McCarthy, McMorris-Rodgers gang of Bush League Republicans has been working against the citizens and for illegal aliens and their employers for too long.
He should have taken Paul RINO’s place a long time ago-we might have done a lot of Winning yesterday without Ryan.

Trump needs to support Jordan.
Woot! Double post!
Was up until 2am watching my Gov Walker get the election stolen from him by corrupt dem party.
That right! Not enough you handed the Dems control of the US Treasure and the Congressional Investigative bodies. If we do not get our way we need to purge even MORE “Rinos” That was we can be even more powerless while the Dems detroy the country.
Are you people really this politically stupid?
I hope Jordan win but it is past time for this “shoot our own in the back all the time” idiocy from “Conservatvie Inc” to stop. We in a fight for survival now and need all the poltical allies, no matter how imperfect, we can find.
Jeb! just called and he wants his Guac Bowl back.
Right now Trump is an infantry platoon surrounded by enemies fighting for it life.
Controling the US House was his air cover. It keep the shining the light on the deep state coup attempt out of DOJ
Now the House will be actively aiding the coup.
You all just waved off Trumps air cover because it was only F-16s instead of Warthogs.
You are all sitting around today talking about how great it will be once the Warthogs get here.
Problem with that “logic” is Trump has to survive, surrounded by foes, until those Warthogs get there. There is a less then 50-50 chance that will happen.
But go ahead and rationalize your poltical incompetence away today. You threw away a sure thing yesterday on a hope for fantasy “perfect” future.
Politically stupid and infantile behavior again by “Conservative Inc”
Yes, exactly what you said. The RINOs had their chance.
You’re the f’n stupid one to put up with all this crap being force fed us by RINO’s-—go eat all that crap you want
You’re thinking got us to where we are—f’ing screw’d!!
