Jordan Seizes Gop Power, Catholics Abandon Trump | Just the News

House Republicans just elected Jim Jordan as their new minority leader after a closed-door vote, choosing the Freedom Caucus founder over Steve Scalise as Mike Johnson steps aside following last week’s midterm losses that flipped the House and Senate to Democrats. Rank-and-file members wanted a fighter who will confront the incoming majority rather than continuity from the previous leadership team.

On Veterans Day, Americans honor the service of those who wore the uniform, from Arlington’s wreath-laying and the Tomb of the Unknowns ceremony to parades in New York and cities nationwide. President Trump issued a proclamation highlighting VA improvements, including a sharp drop in the claims backlog and new facilities, while the Department of War under Pete Hegseth continues its focus on readiness and support for those who served.

Exit polls show Catholic voters nearly evenly split in the midterms after giving Trump a clear majority in 2024, with the shift driven by Hispanic Catholics, younger voters, and women amid economic concerns. Young voters under 30 also moved sharply toward Democrats, reversing the rightward movement seen two years earlier as affordability and other issues dominated their priorities.

Rep. Rich McCormick joins to break down the new House GOP leadership direction and what it means for the minority going forward. Former Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Darin Selnick discusses veteran priorities and the path ahead for those who served. Father Frank Pavone examines the Catholic voting shift and the cultural factors behind it.

What does the GOP need to do right now to win back both Catholics and Gen Z before 2028?
