US Senate Majority Leader John Thune (L), Republican from South Dakota, looks on as US Senator John Barrasso, Republican from Wyoming speaks to reporters as House Republicans vote to elect their party's leadership for the 120th Congress at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on November 10, 2026. The US House of Representatives and Senate returned to session on November 9, with Republicans in control of the "lame duck" Congress until the end of 2026.
