'It makes no sense': Chorus of GOP senators call for LeaderMcConnell to delay leadership election
Sens. Rick Scott , Mike Lee , and Ron Johnson have signed a letter in an effort to urge their fellow Republican senators to postpone leadership elections until after the Georgia runoff in early December, according to Politico.
“Holding leadership elections without hearing from the candidates as to how they will perform their leadership duties and before we know whether we will be in the majority or even who all our members are violates the most basic principles of a democratic process,” they wrote. “It is certainly not the way leadership elections should be conducted in the world’s greatest deliberative body.”
“The question is how fast will we get there. We will get there much faster if we talk about it now as opposed to waiting until Christmas and then the debt ceiling and ping ponging back and forth to random fights without a clear goal of what we are fighting for.”
