Republicans in the US House of Representatives held an intra-party vote on November 10 to elect Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan as the next Republican leader of the House of Representatives with 106 votes to 73. This is the third time Jordan is running for the Republican Party leadership in Congress. According to reports, Jordan is the co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus and an important supporter of Trump's “Make America Great Again” campaign. After the Republican Party suffered a major loss in the midterm elections last week, current Speaker of the House Mike Johnson decided not to run for the new Republican Party leader in the House of Representatives. According to the Washington Post, minority leaders in the new House of Representatives are expected to have limited power because the seat advantage won by the Democratic Party is sufficient to bypass the Republican Party when advancing legislation.
