WASHINGTON, D.C. (Hub City Radio)-

U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune released the following statement after being reelected by his colleagues to serve as the Senate Republican leader in the 120th Congress:

“I appreciated the opportunity to have an open, honest, and transparent conversation with my colleagues today, and I am honored to have their continued trust and support to lead the Senate Republican Conference in the 120th Congress,” said Thune. “I’m proud of what this Republican team has accomplished together, and we remain united in our commitment to advancing conservative priorities, working with President Trump and our colleagues in the House, and holding the line against Democrats’ efforts to enact their far-left, liberal agenda. We have important work ahead of us, and I look forward to serving alongside my colleagues on behalf of the American people.”

Thune is up for reelection in 2028.
