Jim Jordan Will Lead House Republicans When the New Congress Begins in January

Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, will lead House Republicans when the new Congress starts in January, NPR reported.

Jordan is a co-founder of the Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative House Republicans. He is also a close ally of President Trump, according to NPR.

The party's leadership team also includes several other members. The House Republican website lists Tom Emmer as Whip, the party official who tracks votes among members. Lisa McClain is listed as Conference Chair, and Brian Jack is listed as chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the group that works to elect House Republicans.

The website also lists three members who have been chosen for posts but do not yet hold them, a status known as "-elect." Mark Alford is Conference Secretary-elect and Blake Moore is Conference Vice Chair-elect. Jay Obernolte is listed as chair of the Republican Policy Committee.

Jordan's selection as leader sets the top spot for the party when the new Congress convenes. The other posts listed on the website round out the team that will serve with him.
