United States: the very conservative Jim Jordan appointed leader of the Republican minority in the House of Representatives

Jim Jordan has been elected as the new Republican minority leader in the House of Representatives following the party's recent midterm losses. He received 106 votes, defeating Steve Scalise, who garnered 73 votes. Jordan, known for his ultraconservative stance, aims to challenge the Democratic agenda. Meanwhile, John Thune was re-elected as the Senate Republican leader, despite calls from some senators to delay the election to analyze their electoral defeat. The Republicans are expected to lose between seven and nine seats in the Senate, with ongoing vote counts in Mississippi and Alaska favoring Democratic candidates.
