Yes.
And McConnell was re-elected majority leader unanimously. Even Cruz voted for him.
Already happened. Boehner was reelected as Speaker a few days ago and McConnell has been elected as incoming Majority Leader.
Well, they won, so at this point it would be unlikely that the leaders would be replaced. I’d think you’d need to do that when you lose.
Which the dems just did, in the senate BIG TIME, but still they re-elected Harry Reid (although 4 people voted against him) and I think Pelosi is expected to be re-elected too or maybe that already happened too, not sure.
Reid really deserved to be canned though, I think his useless intransigence really hurt the incumbents.
The only Leadership change at the caucus election:
http://blogs.rollcall.com/218/republican-policy-committee-chairman/
“ In the one competitive race for a leadership spot, House Republicans elected Luke Messer to serve as GOP Policy Committee chairman.
The Indiana lawmaker beat out Republicans Tom Reed of New York and Rob Woodall of Georgia.
The Policy Committee chairman — the only competitive leadership race as Rep. James Lankford leaves the spot to become Oklahoma’s next senator — is tasked with equipping members with research and aiding committees as they draft legislation. The chairman also gets a spot at the leadership table and a vote on the Steering Committee.”
Sorry, don’t know any more about him (or even the position).
After a successful election year you normally don’t switch horses.
OTOH I’m shocked that democrats stuck with Harry Reid. Methinks the good folks of Nevada will fix that in two years when they boot him out of the senate.
Yes the GOP House members are going to lay down again and re-elect Boehner.
