Live updates: House, Senate Republicans set to elect leaders
Posted on 11/13/2024
Republicans in the House and Senate are set to elect their leaders on Wednesday after securing a trifecta — winning the House, Senate and White House — in last week’s election.
In the Senate, Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) are competing to be the next Senate majority leader, replacing outgoing Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) after a record-long tenure.
In the House, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appears set to retain the top job on the Republican side but is facing a protest from hard-line conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus.
President-elect Trump is also expected to make an appearance at Wednesday’s House GOP meeting.
