Rep. Mo Brooks said there will be 'significant resistance' to McConnell continuing as Senate GOP leader, naming Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley as potential replacements

.......Republican Rep. Mo Brooks on Friday said that Sen. Mitch McConnell would face "significant resistance" in staying on as the party's leader in the upper chamber after the 2022 midterm elections.

Brooks — an Alabama conservative running for the Senate seat being vacated by veteran lawmaker Richard Shelby after the midterms — gave an interview on the Mobile-based radio station FM Talk 1065 where he threw out the names of well-known lawmakers like Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri as potential replacements for the Kentucky Republican.

The congressman — who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump last year and is strongly allied with the "Make America Great Again" movement — is counting on the former president's support to boost him in a competitive multicandidate GOP primary.

"There's going to be significant resistance to Mitch McConnell being the Republican leader of the United States Senate," Brooks remarked on "The Jeff Poor Show."

He continued: "Even [Sen.] Lindsey Graham has suggested that Mitch McConnell should not be the leader if he's not able to work things out with Donald Trump. I have seen nothing that suggests that he is going to be able to work things out with Donald Trump. But we'll see how it plays out in that regard."

For months, Trump has sought to replace McConnell as the top Senate Republican, motivated by the Kentucky lawmaker's actions during the waning days of the former president's administration...................

He's only 79.  He'll be around for awhile.

Whatever happened to the push for term limits??

Why is everyone assuming the Pubs will have the majority in the Senate.

I see the same thing with the House and I'm not sold n it there either.

Sure biden is the worst POTUS EVER, but election drop boxes haven't been eliminated. Mail in ballots will still be used. The voter rolls aren't being cleaned up. The Rats are gaining a lot of seats in the House through redistricting. The Senate Pubs haven't done anything other than stop "build back better".

What exactly are the Pubs going to do based on what they have done?
