On November 16, 2022, Republican members of the United States Senate held an election to determine the leader of the Senate Republican Conference. Incumbent leader Mitch McConnell defeated a challenge by Florida senator Rick Scott in a vote by secret ballot. This was the first contested conference leadership election since 1996, and marked a departure from the tradition of unanimously confirming incumbent leaders who chose to run for re-election. Only those who were expected to serve as Republican senators in the 118th Congress were allowed to cast a vote.[1][2]
