Have Mitch and Chuck Schumer already been re-elected as Senate leaders?

I haven't heard anything about Senate leadership voting, only House leadership voting the other day.

1. The election today has to take place first.

There's no majority until after it's over.

2. Ahh, thank you. that's right!

I feel so stupid now lol!

4. Hey, we all have a lot on our minds these days!

3. Right now it's 50-48

Republicans have a majority regardless of Georgia.

6. True.

Mitch, no matter what will be seated as leader at least until the 20th.

5. No, The GA contiingent won't be seated until approx. the 23rd--when all challenge deadlines end.

So, McConnel will retain majority leadership until then-- at least for several days into this new term that began Jan 3.

8. True.

I wonder if there will be any challenge to him if this election goes their way today?

I don't see it as likely, but there's a slight feel he's at least slightly less in control of his caucus these days.

11. A lot of Republican Senators have spoken out in favor of the $2,000

If Trump were to Tweet "The reason why we lost the GA elections is because Turtle refused to give the good people $2,000 checks. Vote for someone else Senate leader!" then Mitch is gone.

7. How can Kelly Loeffler say how she'll vote tomorrow when her term is over?

Since this is the new Senate, aren’t the Georgia seats empty until the election is decided? Why would she even be allowed to vote?

[herding cats]

9. Only Perdue's.

Loeffler was appointed and not elected. She keeps hers until the next person is sworn in.

10. Thx
