Jim Jordan Will Relinquish Judiciary Gavel

“Rep. Jim Jordan said Wednesday he plans to end his eight-year run leading Republicans on two of the House’s most prominent committees after this Congress, raising fresh questions about what comes next for the veteran Ohio lawmaker,” Politico reports.

“Jordan, 62, said in an interview on the sidelines of the Republican midterm convention that he has no plans to seek a waiver of the GOP’s three-term limit on committee leaders to retain the top spot on the Judiciary Committee.”

“Nor, he said, would he seek to return to lead Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.”
