Mitch McConnell Confident GOP Senators Will Reelect Him as Leader
Breitbart ^ | 11/15/2022 | Wendell Husebo

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday said he is confident Republican senators will reelect him as GOP Senate leader on Wednesday after failing to reclaim the Senate from Democrats.

“Of course,” McConnell responded to Capitol Hill reporters.

McConnell only needs a simple majority of the Republican conference votes to remain the GOP leader. The vote will take place by secret ballot and behind closed doors. No Republican appears to be challenging McConnell.

GOP must rid themselves of the Mc’s; McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniel as a start.

“No Republican appears to be challenging McConnell.“

Cruz and Rubio are making remarks but neither has stepped up. Talk is cheap.

McConnell has been in leadership for 15 years. He’s over 80 himself. How about someone new?

McConnell’s crusade against MAGA candidates should remove him from consideration for any Republican/Conservative leadership positions.

I saw a copy of the rules. It says “The new congress” shall vote. They do not have a new congress yet. It is totally wrong that anyone other than the new congress would vote for speaker of the new congress.

“The vote will take place by secret ballot and behind closed doors.”

On top of that... Another vote the can be rigged.

He is not a leader.

No, he's not a leader. He's a backstabbing traitor to the American people. And it looks like the Uniparty trash re-elected him as leader.

That’s the last straw for me. McConnell’s gotta go!
