Some Democrats Say Jordan Is a ‘Worthy Adversary’

“Democrats greeted Rep. Jim Jordan’s election this week to become the next leader of the House Republican conference as evidence that the GOP is doubling down on its most extreme flank even after sweeping midterm losses,” the Washington Sun reports.

“House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is likely to become the next speaker of the House, told reporters it ‘remains to be seen’ whether he can work with Jordan next year.”

Said Jeffries: “I know Jim from my days on the Judiciary Committee, and he’s going to have to chart out where he moves forward.”
