The current chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan of Ohio, won the House leadership role while Senator Thune was reelected in the Senate.
Current House Judiciary Committee Chair, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, was elected on Tuesday over Representative James Comer of Kentucky as the next House Minority Leader. Current House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana opted not to run for the role.
“In these next two years, our job cannot be merely to spotlight how radical this new [majority] is—offense, not defense, wins elections,” Congressman Jordan said in a letter to his colleagues. He said his party’s “policies prioritize making Americans’ neighborhoods safer, keeping more money in their pockets, and protecting enduring American values and freedoms.”
President Trump stayed out of the selection process. The House majority party leadership elections are expected to take place next week.
Senator John Thune of South Dakota was also reelected as his party’s leader on Tuesday and will serve as Senate Minority Leader.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Congressman Jim Jordan as he prepares to serve as House Minority Leader.
- For Senator Thune as he serves as Senate Minority Leader.
- For representatives in the incoming majority to be discerning in their choice of leadership.
