  "summary": "The Guardian US reports that Jim Jordan, a controversial far-right congressman, has been elected to lead House Republicans. This decision elevates a Donald Trump ideologue who defied a 2022 subpoena from the Capitol attack panel and was accused of ignoring sexual abuse as a college wrestling coach. Jordan's election marks a triumph for the Ohio Republican, who previously defied the party in the contentious House speakership race three years ago. The Republican conference will be diminished, with its ranks now among the smallest in decades, as the party adjusts to life out of power.",
