In a series of leadership elections, House Republicans are set to select a new leadership team, with the balance of power still undetermined following recent shifts. Michigan Congresswoman Lisa McClain has emerged victorious in the race for the House GOP conference chair, marking her rise as the highest-ranking woman in the House GOP leadership. Meanwhile, Indiana Rep. Erin Houchin has joined the leadership team after announcing her role as conference secretary, while also withdrawing from the race for conference chair. Other candidates, including Rep. Kat Cammack, were passed over for leadership roles, exacerbating the competitive landscape. As the House GOP prepares for elections, eyes are on the potential successors to Elise Stefanik, whose recent UN ambassador nomination has sparked a scramble for her former position. The Senate has also made headlines as they elect John Thune as the new majority leader. With several candidates vying for key roles, the path forward for Republicans remains dynamic as they gear up for the challenges of the next Congress.
