for the remainder of his term there are still 50 Democrats and only 49 Republicans. No, there are 49 Reps, 48 Dems, 1 Ind, and 1 Socialist. The Reps are technically the majority party now, but the two odds are caucusing with the Dems.

And since Searchlight will get the support of the I and the S, he'll be the Majority Leader.
