WASHINGTON, Nov 10 (Reuters) – Republicans in the US House of Representatives elected conservative Jim Jordan on Tuesday to lead their conference as minority leader during the final two years of President Donald Trump’s presidency, Punchbowl News reported.
A secret ballot party held behind closed doors elevated the Ohio Republican and House Judiciary Committee chairman to the minority leadership post a week after Democrats swept to victory last Tuesday’s midterm elections, winning sizable majorities in both the House and Senate.
