Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has gained support from the majority of Republican senators to be elected to the GOP No. 3 leadership position.

The conference chair is responsible for crafting the messaging of the party and ensuring continuity from members. They also determine many committee assignments, and set legislative agendas.

On Wednesday, the senator is expected to win the leadership role, driving out Sen. Joni Ernst’s (R-Iowa) bid to become Conference Chair. Sen. Shelley Capito (R-W.Va.) is also running for the No. 4 position currently held by Ernst.

The Washington Examiner contacted Cotton’s office for confirmation but did not receive comment. 

Republicans earlier this week gained control of the Senate by flipping states such as West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio. The GOP is closing in on gaining control of the House.
