Washington, DC – One week after losing their majority in midterm elections in the United States, Republicans in the US House of Representatives have chosen Congressman Jim Jordan as their new minority leader. In a secret ballot vote held on Tuesday, the Ohio lawmaker, who was first elected to the US Congress in 2007, won the support of his fellow party members to succeed Mike Johnson as the chamber’s top Republican. The high-stakes decision comes as Republicans try to chart a path forward after a bruising midterm defeat in which Democrats flipped at least 40 seats nationwide.
