Senate Majority Leader from WikiPedia:
The Senate Majority and Minority Leaders are two United States Senators who are elected by the party conferences that hold the majority and the minority respectively. These leaders serve as the chief Senate spokesmen for their parties and manage and schedule the legislative and executive business of the Senate. By rule, the Presiding Officer gives the Majority Leader priority in obtaining recognition to speak on the floor of the Senate.
The Majority Leader customarily serves as the chief representative of his or her party in Senate, and sometimes even in all of Congress if the House of Representatives and thus the office of Speaker of the House is controlled by the opposition party.
Many state senates are organized in the same way as the United States Senate.
The Senate is currently composed of 58 Democrats, 40 Republicans, and two independents—Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Bernie Sanders of Vermont—both of whom caucus with the Democrats, giving the Democrats a twenty-seat majority.
