Correct, he's angling for position of minority leader, not Speaker.

And she writes, "the GOP looks increasingly likely to lose control of Congress and possibly the Senate." She meant the House, not Congress. The Senate is part of Congress.

And there's this attempt at a sentence: "At over two dozen 'lawmakers, congressional aides, outside advisors and lobbyists' told NOTUS that they see signs Jordan is preparing to make his move."

Overall, it reads like it was written/edited by an average high school student.
