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.

Thune of South Dakota

Borrasso of Wyoming

Scott of South Carolina has been mentioned

“Anyone else running besides Cornhole?”

It’s generally thought that the top contenders are “the three Johns” — Senators who’ve previously been chosen for other GOP leadership positions. They’re Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-SD), Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY), and former Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX).

I’ve heard speculation that Trump might intervene by trying to recruit Steve Daines to run. No idea if there’s any substance to that.

Another reason for repealing the 17th Amendment.

Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Legislatures can’t do worse!

[Fledermaus]

He’s lying.

Impeached DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas has the gall to smear Gov. @GregAbbott_TX — who has actually taken action to SECURE his state’s border amid the Biden administration’s failure

Nope to The Eunuch.

[SharpRightTurn]

Replacing a corrupt schemer with a milquetoast? No thanks.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

The pot and the kettle.

[Major Matt Mason]

Cornyn, Thune and Barrasso would all be poor choices to replace ChiCom Mitch. All three will be Schumer's lapdogs. Not many true conservatives in the Senate, unfortunately.

[Republican Wildcat]

As The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, the 82-year-old McConnell announced he would be stepping down as leader of the Senate GOP in November.

This was announced live on the Senate floor by the man himself.

Typical TGP.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

One of the three RINO “Johns” that were expected to show up.

No real purpose just do what the Deep State wants.

Dang he sure didn't waist anytime throwing in his hat for Senate leader!What a Complete ego he has! I understand it's a inside vote among the select Rinos in the Senate!
