Senate Majority Leader John Thune will lead the Senate Republican Conference in the 120th Congress after Republican senators reelected him Tuesday, resolving who will hold the party post next term.

Thune held the post in the current Congress, and EconoTimes’ earlier coverage of the planned Senate Republican leadership vote reported, citing the Associated Press, that senators planned a vote on his future as leader. The 120th Congress is scheduled to begin Jan. 3, 2027, according to the House Clerk.
