THANK YOU RICK SCOTT, NEW MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE SUCKS
Thank you Rick Scott for running again for Majority Leader of the U.S. Senate. Thank you Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson and thousands of Public Advocate supporters for backing Rick Scott. New Majority leader John Thune is really a big liberal who Public Advocate opposed and will heap lots of critical attention on Thune in the upcoming session of Congress. We can't afford to stall Presidential appointments for 2 years like RINOs did in the first term of then-President Donald Trump," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
Senate Minority Whip John Thune will be the new Republican Senate leader and the majority leader of the upper chamber in the new Congress.
In January, he will succeed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is the longest-serving party leader in Senate history.
"I am extremely honored to have earned the support of my colleagues to lead the Senate in the 119th Congress, and I am beyond proud of the work we have done to secure our majority and the White House," Thune said in a statement. "This Republican team is united behind President Trump's agenda, and our work starts today."
Sources told Fox News Digital that no candidate reached a majority during the first secret ballot in the old Senate chamber on Wednesday morning. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., received the least amount of votes and was knocked out of the race. The second secret ballot was between only Thune and Cornyn.
"I am excited to work with this team and get to work right away," Thune told reporters shortly after his win.
Thune received 29 votes and Cornyn got 24 on the second ballot, according to Thune's office.
Each of the candidates made a final pitch to their fellow Republican senators late Tuesday night during a forum held by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.
