John Thune compares asking for money to “chewing on tinfoil.”
When he’s not pushing President Donald Trump’s agenda through the Senate, he’s doing a lot of it.
After winning the race to succeed Mitch McConnell, the South Dakota Republican didn’t just claim the job of Senate majority leader. He also assumed control of a vast constellation of Republican political machinery that his predecessor meticulously built over two decades.
“Mitch had a brand, and people trusted him,” Thune told Semafor in a Thursday interview at the National Republican Senatorial Committee. “There are big shoes to fill.”
Not only does Thune oversee the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm alongside its chair Tim Scott, R-S.C., but he also steers the Senate Leadership Fund, a super PAC that does much of the party’s heavy lifting in Senate races.
Plus, he’s navigating the midterms alongside Trump after undertaking one of the most significant transitions in modern politics.
Though Thune had raised millions of dollars for his party in the past, he’d never chaired the NRSC. It was one of Thune’s liabilities in the race for leader last year as he squared off against two former NRSC chairmen.
But the new majority leader has started to prove himself already at what he admitted is a “daunting” task, with SLF and its affiliates doubling their off-year fundraising to $85 million.

He’s been a success. That big beautiful bill probably wouldn’t have passed under McConnell. However, McConnell was the GOAT on getting judges confirmed. Thune is a bit weak in this area.
Not much choice ... alternative was Cornyn
And by "shoes" the filthy weasel means "pockets."
That would have been disaster.
Are you worried about recess appointments?
Sure. I was up all night fretting and kneading my hands uttering "Oh dear. Oh d'd'd'dear." I care just... so... much...

Is that why he was booted from the chair by a majority vote ?

Deny him and the NRC funding and continue voting RINO Senators out and replacing them with MAGA Senators. That’s how you break the machine.
Things are “a chamgin”...and I thought Thune was intelligent to recognize that...evidently that is not the case.
WE NEED MORE MAGA PEOPLE, WE NEED MORE POLITICIANS WHO ARE SMART NOT STUCK IN THE PAST.
THUNE surprised me for a moment...but then he disappoints, he belongs in the “dustbin of history”
Give us more JD Vances, and forward looking AMERICANS.
Even I. as an older American, LNOW we need strong, effecient, patriotic Americans for this model to work.
THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDMAS’ COUNTRY.
Thune is doing just fine.
I hope a grand piano doesn’t fall on him today.

I guess what he’s getting at is if you get a little piece of tinfoil in your steak after it comes off the grill — yuck! It is the disagreeable part of something you like.
I suppose what he likes is spending it once he gets it.
Pretty sad state of affairs when out of 53 Republican Senators, only two Rinos to consider for majority leader. Pathetic.
Like old dead mitch, johnny greaes the deep state to clench defeat from the jaws of victory, every time.
Where do we find such men? And Why?
