Congressional Leadership

Congressional leadership refers to the individuals and roles that guide legislative activities in the U.S. Congress, which is split into two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate. Key leaders include the Speaker of the House, who oversees House proceedings, and the Senate Majority Leader, who leads the Senate. These leaders coordinate party strategies, manage legislative agendas, and facilitate communication among members. They also play crucial roles in negotiating laws and influencing policy decisions, helping to shape the direction of national legislation and ensuring that their party’s priorities are addressed.
