Editing Henry D. Reyes (section)

=== 2025 ===
As apart of the new Senate Republican Leadership changes, Reyes was placed as Senate Republican Conference Chair, succeeding Collin McCarthy's position. This position was offered to him by newly-elected Senator and Majority Leader Alexander Henryson. His term as Senate Republican Conference Chairman ended January 3, 2025, where he was succeeded by his predecessor, Collin McCarthy.

After the writ of appointments from Michael Smith and Alexander Henryson were voided by the Federal Election Commission, leadership had to be turned around yet again. President Pro Tempore Morin described the time in the Senate for that moment as a "crisis on our hands," and installed Reyes to be Majority Leader. Reyes officially became the [[United States Senate|Senate Majority Leader]] on January 3, 2024, at 3:45 PM EST. Critics titled him as an "average" Majority Leader, and that he wasn't great or "insanely horrendous, rather somewhere in between." 

Reyes' most controversial scandal as Majority Leader was failing to pass Supreme Court nominee Bill Norton, despite assuring the [[Leo Stone|President]] that Norton would be [[United States Senate|passed by the Senate]]. This failure was a result of an objection to the motion by Senator Gavin Fischer, requesting for a roll call vote. The nomination failed 1-1-3. Reyes resigned a day later to let Senator-elect Antone Kays succeed him.

Kays later offered him to be Majority Whip, and for Senator-elect Michael Smith to become [[President pro tempore of the United States Senate|President Pro Tempore]]. Assuming Majority Whip, Reyes succeeded Derek Stone in that position, where he remains to the present day.

When [[2025 Miami automobile accident|Majority Leader Kays died in a car accident in Miami, Florida]], Reyes became acting Majority Leader, until a proper replacement could be found.

On January 14, 2025, a resolution introduced by Senator Michael Smith, at the time the current [[President pro tempore of the Senate|President Pro Tempore]], would have made Reyes again, the next [[President pro tempore of the Senate|President Pro Tempore of the Senate]]. The resolution was considered and passed by Michael Smith, the designated Majority Leader who resigned from [[President pro tempore of the United States Senate|President Pro Tempore]] to let Reyes become it for the session and going forward.

On January 25, 2025, Reyes resigned to become Secretary of State, ending his tenure in the Senate.
