Republicans on Tuesday selected to be the minority leader of the next House of Representatives in a rebuke of the chamber’s current GOP leadership.

Having defeated , currently the number two Republican in the chamber, in an upset win by a vote of 106-73, the conservative hardliner will lead a much-diminished caucus of House Republicans once members of the new Congress take office next year.

“Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families,” Jordan said in brief remarks at a press conference following the vote. “When Democrats offer more government, we’ll offer more freedom. And we will bring that fight in committee, on the floor, and on the stump every single day.”

The selection of Jordan is a sign that the House GOP is hoping for a shakeup in the wake of last week’s drubbing in the midterm elections. With Speaker Mike Johnson deciding not to seek the top GOP position in the minority, Scalise, who also served on the leadership teams of John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy, was next in the line of succession. Jordan, meanwhile, was for years a thorn in the side of the Republican establishment, having helped found the hard-right , which tries to push the caucus to pursue more fiscally conservative policies. Their tactics have annoyed both leadership and rank-and-file members.

Jordan’s win is also the byproduct of more centrist Republican members in swing districts who would have likely voted for Scalise losing to their Democratic opponents on Election Day.

Down the ballot, incumbent members in other major House GOP leadership positions defeated challengers. Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota will continue to serve as GOP whip next year after beating Representative August Pfluger of Texas, who currently chairs the Republican Study Committee, a policy-centered caucus of conservatives. Representative Lisa McClain of Michigan won a three-way race against Representatives Erin Houchin of Indiana and Greg Steube of Florida, and she is set to remain the chair of the Republican conference in the House.

On the other side of the Capitol, Senate Republicans made minimal changes to their leadership team, renewing Senator John Thune of South Dakota’s tenure as GOP leader as they prepare to head into the minority next year.

Hardline members of the conference had called for delaying leadership elections while the party reeled from the midterms and discussed why they went so poorly for Republicans.

GOP senators originally met Tuesday morning to select their leaders, but they had to punt the elections to the afternoon after having what some Republicans characterized as a “frank” discussion of the election results.

In the end, they selected their leaders without much drama, as the conference voted overwhelmingly not to postpone leadership elections once they reconvened. They then solidified their leadership slate by acclamation. Along with Thune, Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas will retain their roles as Republican whip and conference chair, respectively.

“I serve at the pleasure of the Republican conference, and if the conference wants to go in a different direction, I would be prepared to accept that,” Thune said at a presser after the vote. “But I, fortunately, didn’t have an opponent. There was a lot of interest in delaying this. I’m not sure, again, necessarily what that achieves. I think what I want to see us do is come out of this knowing full well that we took a big electoral defeat, but come out swinging.”

The only change Republicans made to their leadership team was replacing Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina with Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio as chairman of their campaign arm. Senators rarely serve consecutive election cycles in that position regardless of how successful they were.

“I was in the retail automobile business. When you don’t listen to your customers, your customers punish you,” Moreno told reporters after the vote. “I think we have to own it, and I think we have to learn from it, and dust ourselves up and go out there into the arena and get it done. But what we aren’t is quitters, and what we are is people who love this country. And what we’re going to do is go out there and learn all the lessons from Tuesday.”
