Republicans Pick Party Leadership After Midterm Election Losses
Thune ran unopposed after Republicans weighed their midterm losses, while Jordan defeated Steve Scalise 106-73 for the House GOP leadership post.
- On Tuesday, South Dakota Sen. John Thune was re-elected as Senate GOP leader, despite calls from some GOP Senators to delay the vote following midterm election losses.
- House Republicans chose Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio as Minority Leader, defeating Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana on a 106-73 vote to lead GOP minorities in Congress.
- Jordan stated, "Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families," while Thune urged his caucus to acknowledge their electoral defeat but "come out swinging."
- Democrats face similar leadership debates as the party prepares to take control of Congress in January. Current Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer expressed confidence in "great unity," though Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan questioned his leadership.
- Leadership decisions on Capitol Hill will shape each party's policy playbook and governance approach over the coming term. Officials must determine how to govern differently and improve communication with voters.
