John Thune absolutely must face a primary in 2028.. Until then, he can not be in any GOP leadership positions, especially after the joke of an election last week…. Seven (so far) GOP Senators are blocking the proposed leadership elections that were scheduled for tomorrow until January. However, one of those is NOT Ted Cruz who continues to disappoint.
🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: THESE 7 PATRIOT US Senators are moving to block John Thune’s immediate election as Senate Minority Leader, delaying leadership elections instead
Keep pushing! 👏🏻
– Ron Johnson (WI)
– Mike Lee (UT)
– Rick Scott (FL)
– John Kennedy (LA)
– Dave McCormick (PA)
– Jim Banks (IN)
– Ted Budd (NC)The effort would delay Republicans choosing their leader, rather than making the choice barely a WEEK post-midterm blowout
