Sen. John Thune , R-S.D., was elected to be the next majority leader Wednesday in a closed-door meeting of Senate Republicans .

He replaces Mitch McConnell , replacing him as majority leader after a record 18 years .

Thune and Cornyn have both broken with Trump in some areas in the past, including over Jan. 6 and his false claims about a stolen election.

JD Vance has said little about his vision for the vice presidency other than to mention a few areas of policy interest.

As a candidate, he stuck faithfully to Trump ’s script, filling in the blanks when necessary but rarely overstepping the man whose endorsement lifted him out of a crowded Republican Senate primary field in 2022 .

Vance is seen within Trump world as a savvy political operator who, while he may have defined policy views, isn't an ideologue.
