#REDIRECT [[Party leaders of the United States Senate]] |
|||
The members of each of the two major parties in the [[United States Senate]] ([[United States Democratic Party|Democratic]] and [[United States Republican Party|Republican]]) elects [[Floor Leaders]] who lead that party's members in the upper house of the [[United States Congress]]. Thus, there is always a Democratic leader and a Republican leader in the Senate. Depending on which party has the majority in the Senate, one of these becomes the [[United States Senate Majority Leader|majority leader]] and one becomes the [[United Statates Senate Minority Leader|minority leader]]. |
|||
The Democratic Party first selected a Senate floor leader in 1920. The Republican Party first formally designated a floor leader in 1925. |
