Jim Jordan vows to push GOP agenda while party still holds majority, warns of Dem lawfare

Jim Jordan said House Republicans should use their remaining time in the majority to advance their agenda before Democrats take control of Congress in January. Elected to lead House Republicans from January, he also warned that Democrats would pursue investigations against Republicans and their allies, describing this as political “lawfare”.

Jordan won a secret ballot among House Republicans by 106 votes to 73. He said the party would try to pass legislation during the lame-duck session and ensure members attend key votes, citing a recent vote concerning efforts to impeach Pete Hegseth. Jordan predicted a third impeachment of Donald Trump and said Democrats might target Cabinet members, people in the private sector and potential 2028 Republican presidential contenders JD Vance or Marco Rubio.
