<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/john-barrasso" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Barrasso</a> (R-WY) was elected to the number two position in the Senate Republican Conference on Wednesday as his colleagues selected him to be the new Senate majority whip.</p>
<p>The 72-year-old physician ran unopposed for the position after serving for six years as the chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, according to <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4986544-senate-gop-whip-john-barrassaro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hill</a>.</p>
<p>The politically savvy senator is widely liked throughout the various factions of the Republican Party, including among MAGA Republicans.</p>
<p>&#8220;Wyoming for their support and allowing me to continue serving our state in the United States Senate,&#8221; Barrasso said. &#8220;I want to thank my Republican colleagues for their confidence and their vote today. It is my honor to serve them as Assistant Majority Leader.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have an extraordinary opportunity in front of us. Voters spoke loudly,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It is our job to listen and to lead on their behalf. Our agenda will be bold. We will work on the issues that are so clearly the priority of voters – lowering costs, protecting the border, restoring America’s strength in the world, and unleashing American energy.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that the new Republican majority would work to deliver on Trump&#8217;s agenda.</p>

<p>Other Republicans elected to serve in leadership positions during the 119th Congress included Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), Republican Conference Chair Tom Cotton (R-AR), Republican Policy Committee Chair Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV), Republican Conference Vice Chair James Lankford (R-OK), and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott (R-SC).</p>
<p>Barrasso said in an interview over the weekend that the top two issues Republicans were focused on solving starting in January when they take over was the border crisis and high prices.</p>
<p>&#8220;Those are the things we&#8217;re going to start working on immediately,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been working with the transition team on those things. Now, there are some things that the president can do as soon as he takes office, in terms of making some U-turns on these bad policies of the current administration, in terms of unleashing American energy, in terms of the policies with the border, reversing so many of these executive orders that were put in place four years ago.&#8221;</p>
