Jordan emerges as potential next GOP leader if Dems seize House

On the campaign trail in a swing congressional district in Maine, Speaker Mike Johnson predicts Republicans will ‘grow the House majority.'

One of President Donald Trump’s most prominent allies in Congress could soon become his highest-ranking defender against a barrage of Democrat-led investigations and impeachment threats.

Several House Republicans told Fox News Digital they expect the chamber will slide out of their control come November — and with it, a major shakeup in their top leadership ranks.

"I don’t see a scenario where everyone gets to keep their job," one House GOP lawmaker bluntly told Fox News Digital. "I think [Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.] would be first out, and then [House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.] has got to decide if he’s going to run for leader and, can he beat [House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio]?"

Jordan’s name was one that came up often in Fox News Digital’s discussions with various House Republicans, all of whom spoke under the condition of anonymity to discuss internal conference matters.
