House Republicans to pick new leaders
House Republicans will hold their candidate forum Tuesday morning and vote on their picks in the afternoon.
Key points
- Current Conference Chair Lisa McClain, R-Mich., faces challenges from Reps.
- Brian Jack, R-Ga., and Rudy Yakym, R-Ind., are running for NRCC chair.
- Mark Alford, R-Mo., is running unopposed for conference secretary.
Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and current Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., are competing for minority leader, after Speaker Mike Johnson opted against running for minority leadership (he might not even serve his full term next Congress).
Jordan, who rose up the ranks as a pugnacious Freedom Caucus and Judiciary Committee leader, would be the one to best demonstrate the “divergence in values between the two parties,” said Rep.
Additional details
