*BREAKING:* House Republicans have elected Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio as their next leader following last week’s historic midterm defeat, which handed Democrats roughly 260 House seats and their largest majority in 35 years. Jordan, a close Trump ally and former House Oversight Committee chairman, replaces Mike Johnson as Republicans prepare for Democratic investigations into the Trump administration, his family and business interests. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are facing their own leadership turmoil, with several senators calling for a delay in leadership elections until the party examines its election losses.
