Jim Jordan vows to 'fight' as House GOP's new leader

Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families. When Democrats offer more government, we'll offer more freedom. And we will bring that fight in committee, on the floor, and on the stump every single day. I want to thank my colleagues for their support. And I want to introduce our current whip and next Congress's whip. The gentleman from Minnesota, Mr. Tom Emmer. Today is not a day for celebrating. We lost last Tuesday, and I take it personally, as do my colleagues. I fought for these seats as the NRCC chair and worked like hell to keep them as the majority whip. We're going to do it again. Over the next two years, we will regain the trust and confidence of the American people so we can build back our majority in 2028. To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because come January 3rd, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot. House Republicans will hold each and every Democrat accountable for every vote cast, every committee hearing held, and every sentence said on MSDNC. This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are. We will expose every empty promise that they made to voters. We will expose Democrats' economic agenda that will make housing, food, gas, and health care more expensive. We will expose the Democrats' sanctuary state open border policies, all that will make our communities less safe. Not only... Will we ensure the American people know who these people really are? But House Republicans will put forth an agenda that speaks directly to the American people. With this House Republican team, I am confident we will win back the trust and confidence of the American people in short order. We will undo the damage and chaos caused by these radicals, and we will retake the majority in 2028. Now that the election is behind us, we are one conference and we have one mission. To earn back the trust of the American people and take back this house. We have seven weeks before the next Congress begins and we cannot waste one single day. Democrats may have the majority, but we must and we will go on offense day one. We're going to hold Democrats accountable. We're going to challenge their policies, and we're going to give American families a compelling reason to put Republicans back in charge.
