McConnell Reelected Senate GOP Leader; Scott's Bid Rejected
« on: November 16, 2022, 06:38:25 pm »


Sen. Mitch McConnell was reelected as Republican leader Wednesday, quashing a challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the Senate GOP campaign chief criticized over his party's midterm election failures.

Retreating to the Capitol's Old Senate Chamber for the private vote, Republicans had faced public infighting following a disappointing performance in last week’s elections that kept Senate control with Democrats.

McConnell, of Kentucky, easily swatted back the challenge from Scott in the first-ever attempt to oust him after many years as GOP leader. Senators first rejected an attempt by McConnell's detractors to delay the leadership choice until after the Senate runoff election in Georgia next month.

Well,

Looks like this with Trump jumping back in....sets the stage for another GOP ass-kicking.

Hope to find a roll call of the House and Senate GOP leaders. If any of my state's delegation voted for McCarthy or Mitch, they never get my vote again.

Might just take the policy of voting for State level on down, seems pointless to vote for the Federal offices.

If anyone had some cock and balls, they'd make themselves shadow Leader and start raising money to primary McConnell and McCarthy's supporters.

But we are talking about the GOP here.

If any of your State'd delegation voted for McCarthy or Mitch, it is because McCarthy or Mitch have dirt on them.  They are compromised.  They no longer work for you or your State.

Mitch McConnell removed Rick Scott from Senate leadership after his challenge to McConnell's regime.

Mitch McConnell is a tyrant.

Not surprising since the RINOs own the party.
