Senate Republicans have elected Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., as the new Senate majority leader as longtime top Senate Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is slated to step down from his leadership role at the end of the year.
In a statement published Wednesday, the Senate Republican Conference announced the Senate Republican leadership for the 119th United States Congress, slated to begin early next year. Republicans are projected to have 53 seats in the U.S. Senate in the 119th Congress, making them the majority party for the first time since Democrats last took control of the upper chamber in 2021.
Thune, 63, replaces McConnell, 82, who has served as the Senate’s top Republican since 2007. McConnell served as the Senate minority leader from 2007-2015 and assumed that role again in 2021 while holding the title of Senate majority leader from 2015-2021, reflecting the changes in the partisan makeup in the U.S. Senate over the years.
