- Supporters expect him to lead opposition to Democratic investigations.

## Summary

House Republicans have chosen Jim Jordan of Ohio to lead them in the next Congress, positioning a prominent conservative as the party’s main voice against a Democratic majority. Supporters say his combative style and experience in high-profile committee hearings can help challenge Democratic proposals and make the case for Republicans to regain the House in 2028.

Jordan beat House Majority Leader Steve Scalise in the internal leadership election by 106 votes to 73, and even Scalise’s backers have since voiced support for him. Jordan has chaired the House Judiciary Committee for six years and is expected to use committee meetings to respond to Democratic investigations, including potential probes of the Trump administration; colleagues say his leadership role will require a different approach from his past public clashes with fellow Republicans.
