| Jim Jordan becomes leader of House Oversight Committee in last minute GOP surprise move |
| 2018-12-02 |
| [BIZPACREVIEW] In an unexpected turn of events, Rep. Jim Jordan has won the top Republican spot on the Oversight Committee after his friend and colleague, Rep. Mark Meadows, suddenly stepped aside. The Ohio politician was unanimously elected by the Republican Steering Committee for the ranking member role on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Thursday after last-minute jockeying for positions in the last few weeks, The Hill reported. A staunch defender of President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , Jordan was seeking the ranking Republican position on the House Judiciary Committee until Wednesday. He withdrew his bid amid concerns that he would not get the position as Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, who was favored by GOP leaders for the role, did get the votes. As the senior-most member on the Oversight committee, which is currently chaired by retiring South Carolina Rep, Trey Gowdy, it seemed logical for Jordan to seek the top spot. But Meadows, his House Freedom Caucus ally, appeared to still be running ‐ a position the North Carolina Republican was expected to easily win. |
