Congressional Republicans have elected new leaders following sweeping victories in the midterm elections. As expected, Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell will head the new Republican-led Senate as majority leader. House Republican leaders, including Speaker John Boehner have been re-elected to their posts. On the Democratic side, Nevada Senator Harry Reid will continue to lead his party, now as minority leader. And Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has been given a newly created position in the Senate’s Democratic leadership which will see her serving as a liaison to progressives groups.
