Hilariously, Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, and Steve Scalise are the betting favorites on PredictIt, in that order, with Scalise a distant third.

Idk how somebody who looked the other way at a sex predator and someone how bowed out embarrassingly before are the frontrunners, but shows what I know.

If Democrats win in November, then Nancy Pelosi.

If Republicans keep control, then either Steve Scalise or Kevin McCarthy.

Pelosi or Scalise. I just can’t see McCarthy or Jordan being Republican Leader.

If Democrats win, then I think Pelosi is the clear front-runner, though you can't rule out the possibility that she'll finally lose power.

If Republicans win, I think we're in for a crazy election, especially since Republicans will likely have a very small majority. I guess I'd go with McCarthy as the favorite, but this would be a prime moment for a dark horse contender to emerge.
