US Republicans elected Senate Majority Leader Thun and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jordan on Tuesday to lead the party against the Democratic Congress, which will take power in January next year. In the last two years of Trump's presidency, he faced a situation where the Democratic Party controlled Congress. Senate Republicans elected Thun as leader by acclamation in a closed session. His task was to block Democratic policies that the Republican Party did not approve. “We will no longer be in charge of this place next year,” Thun told reporters. “But what is certain is that in all future legislative work... we will be very active in maintaining the priority issues of conservatives.”
