Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Thursday officially announced a run to replace Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as Republican leader, setting up what is expected to be a hotly contested race for the top spot in the conference.
“I am asking my Republican colleagues to give me the opportunity to succeed Leader McConnell,” Cornyn said in a statement. “Throughout my time I’ve built a track record of listening to colleagues and seeking consensus, while leading the fight to stop bad policies that are harmful to our nation and the conservative cause.”
Cornyn pointed to his work in leadership as whip and atop the Senate GOP campaign arm, as well as his recent stretch outside of leadership.
The Texas Republican added that the Senate is “broken” and that he could play a “major role” in putting it back together.

RINOs of a feather flock together!
People who want this job this bad are the last people you want to have them.
I think Ted Cruz is the best candidate.
Voters are so tired of old. No white hairs.
NO.
Not just no, but HELL NO!
+1
Good G-d in Heaven, NO.
I’m appalled that Cornyn is my Senator.
“Why the hell can’t Texas get rid of this bastard?”
Because of the ghost of LBJ and Ann Richards still haunting us. And because they’re importing millions of “new Democrat voters” as we speak.
Cornyn is one of my Senators. I knew him before he first ran for any public office and regularly practiced before him when he was a district judge in the late 1980s. I supported him when he ran for the Texas Supreme Court back in 1990, when Texas began transitioning from an all democrat state to an all Republican state, and in 1998, when he was elected as the first Republican Attorney General in Texas since Reconstruction.
I say with all sincerity, “OH, HELL NO!”
Been impressed with Mike Lee lately. If that’s the real him (you can never know with U.S. Senators), he could be a decent choice.
Just another capitulator.
How about Cajun JFK?
Oh Puhleeze... NO!
Cornyn is the last clown America needs for Leader of the Senate.
No way to that rino scumbag..
no to Thune,Barasso and Ernst - all just globalist scum.
JD Vance or Rand Paul may be acceptable
Cornyn = RINO turd.
Rand Paul, all the way.NO! NO! NO! NO! to Cornyn!
Sen John Thune of SD, minority whip, has been mentioned for the job.
From his web site.
PROTECTING LIFE
Standing Up for Life
As a member of Congress, I have a 100 percent pro-life voting record and have consistently supported a ban on abortion. For my work to promote a culture of life, I have consistently received an A+ on the Susan B. Anthony List pro-life scorecard.
I am proud to stand beside all those who work to secure the right to life of unborn Americans. The truth is that every human being, born and unborn, is created in the image and likeness of God and has infinite dignity and value. I’ll continue fighting in Congress to defend those who cannot speak for themselves.
