Who will be the next Senate majority leader remains uncertain.
Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has held the position longer than anyone in history. He announced earlier this year that he plans to step down.
This shift could open doors for new leadership within the party. As the dust settles, many are eager to see how the new majority will influence the Senate's direction.
