Majority leader

A majority leader is the leader of a parliamentary group or party which constitutes a majority or plurality within a legislature in political systems where the legislature does not form the executive branch. They are commonly found in the legislatures of states which use a single-executive system of government.

In U.S. politics (as well as in some other countries utilizing the presidential system), the majority floor leader is a partisan position in a legislative body.
