Daybreak Nov. 14: Groups back Thune as new Senate majority leader

11/14/24 10:47 AM By Rebekah Alvey, Philip Brasher, Noah Wicks, and Steve Davies

John Thune’s elevation to Senate Republican leader is being welcomed by many ag, biofuel and conservation groups. No Senate majority or minority leader has come to the job with a background in ag and biofuel policy as deep as the South Dakotan’s since, well, Thune unseated then-Democratic leader Tom Daschle in 2004.
