Other Freepers who know more about these things than I do have said what McConnell is doing is nothing unusual by calling for a majority leader vote before the new Senate is seated. What I know is McConnell is a conniver of the first order. I have not paid attention to such past events, but this action by McConnell even if it was announced some time ago strikes me as odd. Especially, as it has turned out now with J.D. Vance a sitting senator and vice-president elect of the nation and future presiding officer of the Senate. Did McConnell brainstorm and then manipulate the timing of this vote by retiring now before the seemingly logical time to leave coincidentally with the swearing in and seating of a new Senate in January? Why the rush to do it in November other than to try and get his chosen pick in as majority leader.
