@dailymailpolitics: Congressman Jim Jordan was elected to lead Republicans in the minority after Democrats thumped them in last week's midterm elections. His ascent teed up an internal civil war as Jordan sought to oust the establishment pick - current Majority Leader Steve Scalise - who was also vying for the top job. Scalise is tightly tied to current Speaker Mike Johnson, who declined to seek another leadership run. But after the midterm bloodbath, many lawmakers wanted a shake-up at the very top. #news #politics #jimjordan
