GOP Senator John Thune won the race for GOP Senate leader.
He beat John Cornyn and Rick Scott.
Senate Republicans on Nov. 13 selected Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) as their new leader in the 119th Congress, succeeding Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who held the post for nearly two decades.
Thune was elected after two rounds of secret ballot voting in a 29–24 vote against Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), according to a source familiar with the final ballot count.
The third contender, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), was knocked out after the first ballot.
“I am extremely honored to have earned the support of my colleagues to lead the Senate in the 119th Congress, and I am beyond proud of the work we have done to secure our majority and the White House,” Thune told reporters after the vote. “This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today.”
Trump congratulated Thune on the win and said “He moves quickly, and will do an outstanding job. I look forward to working with him.”
Congratulations to Senator John Thune, the Newly Elected Senate Majority Leader. He moves quickly, and will do an outstanding job. I look forward to working with him, and Senators John Barrasso (Senate Majority Whip), Tom Cotton (Senate Republican Conference Chairman), Shelley Moore Capito (Senate Republican Policy Committee Chairman), James Lankford (Republican Conference Vice Chairman), and Tim Scott (National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman) to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
