In January, he will succeed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is the longest-serving party leader in Senate history.
“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 said in a statement. “This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today.”
Sources told Fox News Digital that no candidate reached a majority during the first secret ballot in the old Senate chamber on Wednesday morning. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., received the least amount of votes and was knocked out of the race. The second secret ballot was between only Thune and Cornyn. …
Thune received 29 votes and Cornyn got 24 on the second ballot, according to Thune’s office. …
Joining Thune in leadership are Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., as assistant majority leader; Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., as Repulican conference chair; Sen. Shelly Moore Capito, R-W.Va., as Republican Policy Committee chair; Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., as Republican conference vice chair, and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., as National Republican Senatorial Committee chair. …
The new leader will assume the role in January.

Lord, I have heard negative things about this man — about him leaning toward doing the will of the old guard republicans. But, Lord, I cannot help but believe that a you have touched his heart too. He sounds excited about all You’re doing, so Lord, please give him a willing heart to be able to allow You to lead him to the center of Your will for his life: for his area of authority, for our country, & for Israel! Please please let his focus be on confirming Trump’s appointees QUICKLY, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
