Sen. John Cornyn Says He Wants to Succeed Mitch McConnell as U.S. Senate GOP Leader
The Texan ^ | 9/22/2021 | Daniel Friend

Posted on 10/01/2021 11:14:00 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

In an interview during the Texas Tribune’s virtual festival, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that should Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) leave his role as the Republican leader in Congress’ upper chamber, Cornyn would want to take his place.

“It’s been my honor to work with Sen. McConnell, who’s been in the Senate a lot longer than I have,” said Cornyn when asked about the possibility of a future majority or minority leader from Texas.

“But should he decide to step down and no longer serve as leader, I’ve made it no secret that I would like to succeed him,” said Cornyn. “If there’s an opportunity to do that, I would like to do that.”

Cornyn said that during his three terms in the Senate so far, he’s “learned a lot” and “developed good relationships” with Republicans and Democrats alike.

“I think that’s based on mutual trust in a place where trust is in short supply. People know me,” said Cornyn.

Good lord. HE couldn't lead his way out of a paper bag! But to be fair, a bag of hammers could do better than Mitch. LOL!

He’s the Senate Republican Whip, second in line in the party leadership. It’s his turn...according to tradition.

I’d choose Herschel Walker over him any day.

Unfortunately the Senate Republicans won't.

Ted or Rand.

LOL! The two Senators least liked by their peers. Either one would likely get only a single vote - their own.

Cornyn is merely the reflection Mitch sees in the mirror.
