美国参议院共和党人周二重新选举约翰·桑恩，他将在新一届国会中担任参议院少数党领袖，届时民主党将于1月执政。
John Thune was reelected by Senate Republicans on Tuesday and will serve as Senate Minority Leader in the new Congress when Democrats take power in January.
“我很高兴今天能与同事们进行坦诚、开诚布公且透明的交流，并荣幸地获得他们持续的信任和支持，在第120届国会中领导参议院共和党会议，”他在一份声明中表示。
"I appreciated the opportunity to have an open, honest and transparent conversation with my colleagues today, and I am honored to have their continued trust and support to lead the Senate Republican Conference in the 120th Congress," he said in a statement.
桑恩承诺将与特朗普总统以及众议院共和党同事密切合作，推进他们的立法议程。
Thune pledged to work closely with President Donald Trump and Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives to advance their legislative agenda.
“我们面前有重要工作，我期待与同事们并肩为美国人民服务，”他补充道。
"We have important work ahead of us, and I look forward to serving alongside my colleagues on behalf of the American people," he added.
此前，众议院共和党人选举吉姆·乔丹担任下一届国会的少数党领袖。
Earlier, Republicans in the House of Representatives elected Jim Jordan to serve as minority leader in the next Congress.
