Thune's poor record on LGBTQ+ rights raises concerns as he steps into the role of Senate majority leader, an influential position that could impact future legislation.
With a vote count of 29 to 24, Thune secured the leadership position over Cornyn, signaling a shift back to the establishment GOP's influence in the Senate.
Despite some bipartisan efforts, Thune's overall contributions to LGBTQ+ rights have been minimal, reflecting a consistent alignment with more conservative party values.
His leadership term begins on January 3, with Republican control solidified at 53-47, yet Thune faces scrutiny over his alignment with LGBTQ+ issues.
