The likely timeframe for the flip would have been in 2001-2002, when the Republicans held a 50 seat majority in the Senate.
Because of an oddity (Gore still VP while new Senate sworn in, meaning Dem control for about 17 days), an agreement was made that didn’t lock in majority / minority leadership for that Congress.
It was exploited later that term when Jim Jeffords of Vermont flipped from Republican to Independent and gave Daschle the Majority Leader position.
