Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was reelected to lead the Senate GOP by a voice vote Wednesday, as no one voted against him or challenged him for the position.

McConnell, 76, has served in Senate leadership longer than any other Republican, as he has been the leader since 2006. Democrats also reelected Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday, with zero opposition from his colleagues. This will be Schumer’s second term as Minority Leader.

McConnell sent out a tweet Wednesday morning, saying he was “Honored” to continue his job as majority leader.

Senate Republicans will have to select a new Majority Whip, as Texas Republican John Cornyn has met his three-term limit in the position.
