Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been unanimously elected the Senate's majority leader by his fellow Republicans.

McConnell will take over those duties in January when the new Congress convenes.
Republicans have gained eight seats from the midterm elections after Republican Dan Sullivan was declared the winner over Sen. Mark Begich (D) in Alaska. They could take a ninth seat in a runoff in Louisiana next month if Rep. Bill Cassidy (R) defeats Sen. Mary Landrieu.

Yes, the republicans, or should I say America, needs a strong leader at this point and McConnell is the guy. :3:

I wonder what kind of deals he made to make this happen.

Wait...what?  He's elected GOP leader for what congress, exactly?

Were the newly elected Senators sworn in?  Did they vote?  What about Cassidy in Louisiana?  Shouldn't the vote wait for his victory?

What the hell is going on here?

Maybe McConnell consulted with Johnathon Gruber on how best screw everyone and not be transparent. :whistle:
