Republican John Thune, who has been voted leader of the Senate, has not shied away from criticizing President-elect Donald Trump in the past.

Senate Republicans are expected to debut their new leadership team in a press conference around 2:00 pm, after selecting a new majority leader on Wednesday. Sens. Rick Scott, John Thune, and John Cornyn have thrown their hats into the ring to replace Mitch McConnell as the Senate Republican Leader.

U.S. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota was chosen by his peers to lead his Republican senators in the 119th U.S. Congress.
