                            LEADERSHIP VOTES

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, speaking of looking ahead, just a few 
hours ago our Republican conference came together and chose the 
leadership team that will serve for the 116th Congress.
  Our Republican leadership team will feature faces both new and 
familiar. We are looking forward to earning our colleagues' trust and 
working as hard as we can to seize the opportunities that will lie 
before us this coming Congress.
  It is my honor to have been asked by my colleagues to continue 
serving as leader. I can honestly say that not a day goes by when I am 
not humbled and honored by this opportunity to serve my colleagues, the 
institution of the Senate, and our incredible country in whatever 
measure I am capable.
  I know my friend the Democratic leader feels much the same. I want to 
congratulate him on his election as leader once again. I look forward 
to working with him and his colleagues to move the ball and to make 
bipartisan progress for the American people.
