Only one candidate for the Senate has said he would not vote for Mitch to be Majority Leader after the Mid terms - just one and Graham is the only sitting senator that I am aware of who has publicly said he will not vote for McConnell. The senators want Mitch as their leader since he makes it easy for them to raise money from corporate entities beholden to China. Don't be naive.
Excellent post Dave. Hard to disagree with any of it.
