2:04Now PlayingSenate Republicans tapped John Thune of South Dakota to lead the conference for the next two years and succeed Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving leader of either party in Senate history.
Thune, who has served as the Republican whip since 2019, edged out John Cornyn of Texas 29-24 on the second ballot.
