Summary
106-73 secret-ballot winner Jim Jordan said House Republicans will press as much of their agenda as possible before Democrats take both chambers in January.
On Fox News, the incoming House minority leader said he will keep GOP members present for key lame-duck votes, citing a recent win after 11 Democrats missed an impeachment-related vote on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Jordan also cast the coming Congress as a fight against Democratic "lawfare," predicting investigations into Trump, his Cabinet, family and business interests and even a third impeachment effort.
The leadership change follows steep GOP midterm losses and Mike Johnson's exit from House leadership, with Jordan expected to become one of Trump's top defenders in Congress.
