Senate Leadership Elections Next Week

(WASHINGTON) — Senate leadership elections will be held on Nov. 13, an aide to Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky said.

Following Tuesday’s elections, next week’s vote will allow the parties to choose their leaders, with most expecting that McConnell, the current Senate minority leader, will be chosen for the majority leader position.

Harry Reid has been the party leader for the Democrats since 2005, though he’d need support from his party next week to take the Senate minority leader role starting in January.

The full Senate is scheduled to return on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
