House Republicans plan to select between Reps. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise on Tuesday to determine the next House Republican leader.

Nov. 10 (UPI) -- House Republicans plan to select between Reps. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise on Tuesday to determine the next House Republican leader after losing control of the chamber in next year's Congress.

Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday he won't seek re-election as head of the party after the Nov. 3 election, which saw Democrats take control of both the House and Senate.

Current House Republican leader Scalise, of Louisiana, put his name up for consideration alongside Jordan, of Ohio.

NBC News and ABC News reported the vote to select new leadership was expected to take place Tuesday. Only those who will be part of the new Congress in January are eligible to vote, not those retiring or ousted in last week's election.

Scalise has served as House majority leader since January 2023 and before that was Republican whip from 2014 until 2023. He's a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce and sits on three subcommittees -- communication and technology, energy and power, and oversight and investigations.

Jordan was first elected to represent Ohio's 4th congressional district in 2007. He serves as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. He's also on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and its subcommittees -- health care, benefits and administrative rules; and government operations.
