Two new senators were sworn in on Tuesday to replace new Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance.

Republicans rounded out their 53-seat Senate majority on Tuesday with the swearing-in of Jon Husted and Ashley Moody, the two senators replacing Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

In order to keep the Senate job, Husted will have to win a 2026 special election to fill the last two years of the term JD Vance vacated to become vice-president, then seek a full-six year term in 2028.
