Outgoing New Jersey Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew tells @wildstein he intends to print a new letterhead identifying himself as “Congressman Emeritus” and will continue assisting constituents and local officials who seek his help.

Van Drew added that he will continue raising money, retain his campaign staff and keep his campaign headquarters open as he considers another run.

Jim Jordan was elected under Bush in 2006, became a fierce opponent of former Speaker Boehner and the establishment then helped found the Freedom Caucus in response.

In 2018, he challenged Kevin McCarthy for Leader, but lost. Ran for Speaker in 2023 but failed to secure enough votes.

Now, after nearly two decades in Congress, Jordan has finally been elected Leader, defeating Steve Scalise by 33 votes. He is now positioned to become the next Speaker if Republicans take back the House.

This represents a change from the old guard to the new guard. Extremely promising sign.

Get ready.
