The Louisiana Republican announced on Wednesday morning on an all-staff call that he will not run for House minority leader for the new Congress next year, following Tuesday’s historical Democratic landslide takeover of the House of Representatives.
It’s not clear yet if Johnson has anointed a successor to lead the Republican caucus. Representative Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has already thrown his hat into the ring and announced he’s running for House minority leader. According to Punchbowl News, Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations.
The current number two Republican in the House, Representative Steve Scalise, also announced that he is running for caucus leader.
Jeffries and Schumer should have both stepped down after the embarrassing 2024 losses.
Damn. People voted so hard they bullied this loser into quitting lol. Don’t stop now! Demand Democrats actually improve people’s lives.
In order to do that we need to replace the house and senate leadership.

Agreed. That’s part of the demand…
Welcome to the club of the ex-future leaders of the Republican party.
Was that an actual book?
That’s hilarious. I’ll keep an eye out for it on the resell books.
Private equity, investment banking, and runs a SuperPac. They landed pretty well.
I’m every single photo I’ve ever seen of him, he just looks confused to hell. Like he’s having super early dementia.
I mean I know he’s just plain evil, but he looks confused as hell, and Patel always looks awkward as fuck.
It’s all the drugs. Poppers probably. They are popular in the gay community.
Good riddance racist loser.
I was struggling yesterday to remember whst this guys name is. He just carries trumps diaper bag now and rubber stamps his crimes. He didnt quit leadership, he got sidelined. Like all trumps allies, its only a matter of time until trump backstabs or scapegoats them.
They’re eating their young. I’m sending (yet another) e-mail to our RethugliKKKan Senator, asking if she regrets not removing it from office as I demanded so many times in the past. Her reply will be priceless.
Whomever leads Republicans in the House will be a sleazy little shit who lives to suck Trump’s stinking little toadstool.
well that narrowed it down…
Damn I’m just eating my lunch
Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations
Yeah, of his own belly button.
Around here, we refer to him by his full Christian name, Gymnasium B. Jordan.
Handjob Jim “investigated” the boners of young wrestlers.
He’ll fit in well with trump. Trumps speeches about male asses are really unnerving. How would you like to be in that crowd listening to him drool.
Next ghoul up.
What would it take to get Trump to resign?
Gotta get your résumé ready and sent to Fox News huh Mikey?…
I don’t know… pretty sure, behind closed doors, lil man LOVES him some humiliation!
You know you’re actually right about that? No joke. That’s actually how they are.
I really really really hate this snake and hope he will be prosecuted for his deeds.
We can’t prosecute someone for being a hack, sorry.
If we could, there’d just be AOC sitting there in an empty chamber
Bye bye Mike
