Senate Republicans on Wednesday elected Sen. John Thune of South Dakota—a former corporate lobbyist and close ally of Sen.

Thune, of South Dakota, beat out Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida in a secret ballot election to replace Mitch McConnell.

Democrats were projected to win at least 208 House seats and Republicans 215 seats as of Friday. A party needs 218 seats in order to have the majority.
