Jim Jordan vows to push GOP agenda while party still holds majority, warns of Dem lawfare

Incoming House Minority Leader Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News he is committed to maximizing the GOP’s legislative agenda while Republicans still hold a majority in Congress, before Democrats take control of both chambers in January following their midterm wins.

Jordan’s remarks on "Hannity" came after House Republicans elected him in a 106–73 secret ballot vote to lead the minority in the lower chamber beginning in January.

"We've got to use the majority while we have a chance before the Democrats spend all the next Congress going after Republicans," Jordan said during his first interview since being elected.

The Ohio lawmaker’s victory comes after catastrophic midterm losses for the GOP prompted House Speaker Mike Johnson to step away from his leadership stoop. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., was chosen again Tuesday to lead the Republican Party’s minority in the Senate.

Jordan, a two-decade House veteran, is expected to be Trump’s top defender in Congress as Democrats prepare investigations targeting his Cabinet, family and business interests.

"There'll be a third impeachment. They can't help themselves," he told Fox News host Sean Hannity. "They're going to go after everyone in the Cabinet — we've already seen that with Secretary of War Hegseth. They're going to go after people in the private sector, which I think is ridiculous."

Jordan also predicted Democrats will direct their investigations toward whoever they believe will emerge as the Republican presidential nominee in 2028, identifying Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential targets.

"For the Democrats, it's all about politics and going after their political opponents," he said.

"And we are committed, as House Republicans — pushing back and giving the facts and the truth to the American people," he added.

Jordan vowed to keep Republicans present for key votes during the lame-duck session, as the party looks to push forward as much legislation as possible before Democratic congressional control.

He jeered 11 Democratic House colleagues who were absent during a recent vote related to efforts to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

"We’re going to work on making sure everyone is here, unlike the Democrats last night — we beat them on that vote because we have people here," said the Ohio congressman. "We're going to be doing that because we've got important things we need to try to get done in this lame-duck session while we still have the majority."

Jordan said House Republicans will fight for the American people and fight against what he described as Democratic lawfare.

"[Democrats] are going to do all this crazy lawfare stuff and these crazy investigations," he said. "We're going to be fighting for American families."
