House Republicans elected Rep. Jim Jordan as their minority leader on 12 November, according to CBS News, after a closed-door vote in the U. S. House of Representatives.

The win positions Jordan to lead the GOP caucus in the 120th Congress and suggests a more combative approach toward the Democratic majority. The election followed a secret ballot held on 10 November in which Jordan defeated Steve Scalise 106-73, as reported by Roll Call. Earlier reports noted that the Republican conference had shrunk to one of its smallest sizes in decades (The Guardian) and that President Donald Trump had recently backed Stephen Miller for chief of staff (Yahoo). After losing the leadership contest, Scalise said he had not decided whether to seek a full term in the 120th Congress (Fox News).
