Mccarthy Wins Gop Nomination For Speaker With 31 Republicans Voting Against Him

The midterm results, which allowed Democrats to retain their majority in the Senate, have some Republicans openly questioning who should lead the party moving forward ahead of leadership elections. Hawley says McConnell can’t bring the GOP back to the majority Sen. Josh Hawley told CNN’s Manu Raju that “obviously what we’re doing is not working” to become the majority party. “It doesn’t work for a long time,” he said. “And I think you look at the independent voters, I mean, we gave them nothing, no alternative. This was the decision of the leadership. They didn’t want to have an agenda.” Hawley added that he would vote for Sen. Rick Scott if he challenged Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for leader and reiterated that he believes the leadership election should be delayed until the Georgia runoff. Cruz on leadership election: We need a leader who ‘doesn’t flip right away’ Sen. Ted Cruz blasted Senate GOP leadership for “capitulating to the Democrats” over the past two years, scathingly criticizing their messaging strategy during this cycle. “I think we need to have a leader who really listens to the conference, and who is willing to stand up and fight, not get carried away right away,” Cruz said. “Our current leadership believes that the way you win elections is that you don’t stand for anything, you don’t have an agenda, you don’t have a plan. Instead, the only thing you stand up and say is, “Well, I’m not a Democrat. So vote for me.” You know what? Election Day showed that we have to be more than just not Democrats,” he said. Cruz said it would be “absolutely crazy” to hold a leadership election tomorrow, before the post-mortem of election results. “I’ll tell you this, I think if we don’t delay the election, I think it’s very likely we’ll see someone running against Mitch McConnell,” he added. Trump’s former chief of staff says it’s time for the RNC chair to move on Mick Mulvaney, President Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, told CNN’s Kate Bolduan that he is not a fan of Ronna McDaniel running for re-election as chair of the Republican National Committee. “We did well when I worked in the White House, and I have no complaints about her personally. But we have a losing record with her in charge. Again, we lost in 2018. We lost in 2020. We didn’t win like we should have last week,” said Mulvaney on Tuesday. Mulvaney’s comments come amid reports that McDaniel told RNC members during a conference call Monday that she plans to seek re-election to another term, according to people familiar with the call. Thune expects “frank discussion” at the GOP dinner Republican Sen. Whip John Thune said he expects a “frank conversation” when GOP conference members meet for lunch on Tuesday to assess why they had clean election results and begin the process of deciding who their elected leadership team will be. for the next Congress.
“I expect the leaders will be able to make their voices heard as we always do. But I also expect many of our members – who tend to be vocal in most cases at these meals – to be vocal today. We’ll see where it goes,” Thune told reporters on Capitol Hill. “I think it’s good. We need these honest conversations, certainly within the family as we think about shaping the future, learning from the past, being informed by the past, but preparing for the future.” Thune also said he hoped former President Donald Trump would wait until the Georgia Senate runoff to announce another presidential run, which he is expected to do tonight.
