What’s new
- Jim Jordan elected House GOP leader for the next Congress. House Republicans picked Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan over Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Nov. 10, 106–73 per CBS News sources, after losing 40+ seats in the midterms. Mike Johnson remains Speaker through the lame duck, so he still steers the Dec. 11 funding bill. (CBS News)
- Thune re-elected Senate GOP leader. Sen. John Thune was re-elected to lead Senate Republicans, who move into the minority in January. (CNBC)
- Murray: “every tool” against the Iran war, but no Christmas shutdown. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), the likely next Senate Appropriations chair, told KUOW she wants to use “every tool that we can to end this war,” but “I don’t think anybody wants a shutdown at Christmas.” She said Republicans would be to blame for a lapse if they push “something unreasonable” by Dec. 11. (KUOW)
Bottom line: No bill moved, and the deadline and risk rating are unchanged. Another short-term CR into early 2027 is still the most likely outcome. The things to watch are Iran-war funding as leverage and whether Senate appropriators release any bills during the lame duck. CRFB’s FY2027 status table hasn’t changed since Sept. 3.
