Here’s Who Might Run To Replace McConnell As Senate GOP Leader, Including The ‘Three Johns’
Dailywire ^ | Feb. 28, 2024 | Daniel Chaitin

With Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announcing on Wednesday his intent to end his reign as GOP leader in the Senate, speculation about who will run to replace him in the role quickly began to mount.

Top of the list of potential contenders, according to early chatter, appears to be the so-called “three Johns:” Sens. John Thune (R-SD), John Barrasso (R-WY), and John Cornyn (R-TX).

Thune is currently the second-ranked Republican in the chamber, serving as minority whip — a role in which the holder performs head counts and rallies members of the party for votes and quorum calls.

The No. 3 Republican in the Senate is Barrasso, who serves as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference. Cornyn is a former Republican whip and ex-chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee tasked with getting Republicans elected to the Senate.

None of the “three Johns” appeared to be ready to make any sort of announcement shortly after McConnell delivered remarks on the Senate floor declaring his plans to step down.

I was NOT crazy about Thune, until he ENDORSED PRES TRUMP.

If he is sincere, we will see, then I will support him.

If that’s your criteria why not Lindsay Graham? He’s even on Trump’s SC campaign leadership team.

“Including Barrasso who is my senator.”

IIRC, he was all gung ho about PDJT during the 2016 campaign. Sounds like he went to the dark side.

“Senator Roger Marshall is an upfront guy”

OK. Then we KNOW he won’t have Turtle’s blessing.

“I like Marsha Blackburn too.”

Not only, “NO!”, but “HELL NO!!!”

Our illustrious TN Senator VOTED TO CERTIFY BIDEN’S STOLEN ELECTION on 1/6/21. (Along with our other TN Senator Hagerty.) She doesn’t get to be rewarded for that.

No
No
No

Yes.

He chimed in too late to have any convincing sincerity to me.

And I’m sure Trump shares my position.
