Divided House Republicans elected Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio to be their leader on Tuesday, elevating a pugilistic firebrand who has been a close ally of President Trump as they reel from a crushing defeat in the midterm elections.
Mr. Jordan, the current chairman of the Judiciary Committee, will replace Speaker Mike Johnson next year, when Republicans are relegated to the minority and effectively shut out of power. He will inherit a fractious and diminished conference that was already plagued by bitter infighting before it lost control of the House.
Mr. Jordan, 62, who was elected in a closed-door party meeting, will play a critical role in his party’s efforts to chart a path back to the majority. He will also lead Republicans’ efforts to shield Mr. Trump and his administration from an anticipated barrage of congressional investigations and oversight efforts from House Democrats.
In choosing Mr. Jordan, House Republicans signaled a desire for fresh leadership after their biggest election losses in decades. Mr. Jordan defeated Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, who is currently the No. 2 Republican and who has been in leadership since 2014.

good ... let’s see how he does ...
Better than the traitor Thune
What can he do? He’s in the minority Party next year.
The Republicans need a fighter in that position, and one in the Senate. Looks like they only got one of the two.
Pugilistic? Is that a word?
Maybe he’ll at least try to act like the opposition party.
Unlike Thune, the asshole.
Jordan is in the House. They just elected Thune as Senate Minority leader.
Maybe republicans have finally decided to start fighting?
Hah, I crack myself up sometimes.
Maybe republicans have finally decided to start fighting?
Hah, I crack myself up sometimes.
Thune’s in the Senate... The other house.
The GOP is hopeless.
“a crushing defeat”
“shut out of power”
“bitter infighting”
“an anticipated barrage of congressional investigations”
“their biggest election losses in decades”
You treasonous new yerkrs run out of negatives insinuations about your hated enemies?
Yep. I'm 79. Been voting Republican for the past 58 years (I had to be 21 to legally vote back then). I'm thinking about not voting anymore, and having the county clerk remove my registration, because it's gotten to the point where my vote doesn't count anymore. It's been obvious for many years that Congressional Republicans don't care about the safety and security of our elections, or the ballots of Republican voters. Whenever a Republican casts a ballot for a Republican candidate, the RATS have 10 fraudulent ballots to override it, which disenfranchises that Republican vote, so why even bother voting.
I’ll keep voting out of muscle memory. Nostalgic reasons -so I can pretend it’s still a republic. I lie to myself to remain sane.
Republicans will get strongly worded letters and no more from Jordan
Im right there with you. Pushing 70 here and Im not playing this bs game anymore.
I’m also 79, been voting Republican for 58 years, never missed an election. If I live til the next election, the gop can go shit up a whipple tree and piss up a rope. They don’t even care that our votes aren’t counted, and the ones already in office continue supporting assholes like John Thune. I’m done.
GOPeers GOPeering.
Not supporting Trump nor the best interests of America.
There were be more of us in the coming two years, and that will be on the do-nothing GOP.
