House Republicans elected Jim Jordan of Ohio as their minority leader for the next Congress on November 10, defeating current Majority Leader Steve Scalise by a vote of 106 to 73. The race was set in motion after Speaker Mike Johnson declined to seek the minority leadership post, with reports suggesting he may not even complete his full term in the next Congress.

Jordan's victory was widely anticipated heading into the vote. Prediction market Polymarket had his odds at 77 percent just before the result was announced, reflecting strong confidence among observers that he would prevail over Scalise. Jordan will now lead House Republicans in the minority after Democrats took control of the chamber.
