majority leader
By MARY CLARE JALONICK

WASHINGTON (AP) — Re-
publicans have elected
South Dakota Sen. John
Thune as the next Senate
majority leader, complet-
ing a momentous shift in their
leadership that elevates a
top deputy of Mitch Mc-
Connell into a key position
as President-elect Donald
Trump returns to the White
House. Thune, 63, is in his
fourth Senate term and has
promised to work closely
with Trump, despite differ-
ences the two have had
over the years, and will be
a crucial part of the incom-
ing president's efforts to push
through his policy agenda.
The two spoke on the phone
shortly after Thune was elect-
ed, the senator posted on X
Wednesday afternoon, add-
ing that "Senate Republicans
are excited and ready to get
to work" with the incoming
president.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., walks to the chamber as Congress returns for the lame-duck session at the Capitol
in Washington, Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2024.
