Conservative Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) announced his bid for House minority leader on Wednesday, challenging Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) hours after Democrats regained control of the lower chamber.
"I plan to run for minority leader," Jordan told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton on "Rising."
"In 2016, the American people elected Republicans to come here and change this town. I think the president is doing just that, but I don't think they see the same intensity from folks in Congress, folks in the House of Representatives," he continued.
"Have we replaced ObamaCare yet? Have we secured the border yet? Have we reformed welfare yet? No," he said.
Jordan went on to slam current GOP leadership in the House, saying they were not willing to engage in debate with Democrats.
