The Republicans in the US Senate have determined that South Dakota Senator John Thune will be the Majority Leader. Thune will be the person responsible for the people chosen by President Donald Trump in the Senate, where Republicans have a 53-47 majority.
Thune also voted in favor of a bill that would remove the SEC's barrier to banks offering crypto custody services in May.
“It is a very proud perspective that my supporters deserve to support in leading the Senate. This Republican team, united in the middle of President Trump, has rolled up its sleeves as of today,” the senator said.
Thune was seen as the favorite before the election, which was held behind closed doors.
What will be the first agenda items?
Unsurprisingly, many of Trump’s supporters did not include Florida Senator Rick Scott in this election. This included Tesla CEO #ElonMusk and famous journalist Tucker Carlson.
