House Republicans will decide who will lead them in the 120th Congress on Tuesday, picking between Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) for minority leader.

The race is a rematch between Scalise and Jordan, who ran for the top Republican spot when then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted in 2023. While Scalise beat Jordan in a closed-door vote, both men ultimately fell short on the House floor for the speakership after allies of the lawmakers refused to support the opposing candidate.
