WashingtonJordan beat Scalise 106-73 for House Republican leader.
Democrats flipped at least 40 seats, leaving Jordan a conference of about 170 members.
Jordan co-founded the hardline Freedom Caucus, which has thwarted party-backed legislation, and promises offence against expected Democratic investigations.
“Somebody’s got to get fired,” said Indiana Representative Marlin Stutzman, who backed outsiders in the leadership races.
Sanders and Slotkin say they won’t back Schumer for Senate majority leader, and House Democrats vote next week.
