Mitch McConnell was reelected to head the Senate Republican conference on Wednesday, defeating challenger Rick Scott, a fellow member of leadership who chairs the chamber's GOP campaign arm.
Scott (R-Fla.) launched the long-shot bid on Tuesday, determined to challenge the "status quo" under McConnell after the GOP failed to take control of the Senate. McConnell is now on track to be the longest serving party leader in the chamber's history.
Some Senate Republicans had pushed for delaying the leadership elections, but that vote failed, 16-32, on Wednesday morning, paving the way for McConnell's reelection.
