约翰·图恩连任参议院共和党领袖：将任新一届国会少数党领袖
美国参议院共和党人11月10日在华盛顿国会山举行闭门投票，再次选举南达科他州参议员 John Thune 为参议院共和党会议领袖。图恩在无人竞争的情况下以鼓掌通过的方式连任，将于2027年1月第120届国会开幕起出任参议院少数党领袖。
这次改选是在中期选举失利的背景下举行的：共和党在上周的中期选举中失去参议院多数席位。部分共和党参议员曾以需要更多时间检讨败选为由要求推迟领袖选举，但一项推迟投票的动议在闭门表决中以15票对31票被否决；推动推迟的威斯康星州参议员 Ron Johnson 在投票开始时离开了会场。
图恩现年65岁，2025年初接替 Mitch McConnell 出任参议院共和党领袖，本届任内以多数党领袖身份推动通过了本届政府的多项优先议程，包括共和党的大型预算案。他在投票后发表声明说，他感谢有机会与同僚进行开诚布公的坦率交流，并对同僚继续信任和支持他领导第120届国会的参议院共和党会议感到荣幸。
同场改选中，现任多数党党鞭 John Barrasso 也获连任，新国会将出任少数党党鞭。参议院民主党一侧的领袖选举预计在12月初举行。
John Thune Re-elected Senate Republican Leader, to Serve as Minority Leader in the New Congress
Senate Republicans re-elected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as leader of the Senate Republican Conference in a closed-door vote at the U.S. Capitol on November 10. Thune, who ran unopposed, was re-elected by acclamation and will serve as Senate minority leader when the 120th Congress convenes in January 2027.
The vote came after Republicans lost their Senate majority in last week's midterm elections. Some Republican senators had sought to postpone the leadership election, arguing the party needed more time to reckon with the losses, but a private vote to delay the contest failed by 15 to 31. Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, who had pushed for the postponement, walked out of the room as the voting began.
Thune, 65, succeeded Mitch McConnell as Senate Republican leader in early 2025 and, as majority leader, steered many of the administration's second-term priorities through the chamber, including the party's large budget bill. In a statement after the vote, he said he appreciated the opportunity for an open and honest conversation with his colleagues and was honored to have their continued trust and support to lead the conference in the 120th Congress.
Sen. John Barrasso was also re-elected in the same leadership elections and will serve as minority whip in the new Congress. The Senate Democratic leadership elections are expected in early December.
