One thing at a time. Let’s first concentrate on winning the Majority on November 8th. After that, the Republican Senators will have two months to decide their leadership.
I’m with you - one step at a time. No counting chickens until they’re hatched...
It has occurred to me that McConnell knows that if the Rs take a majority with several new senators, he will be relieved of the leadership. It may explain the odd moves he has made in financially supporting some older RINOs (Murkowski, etc). Having more of the old guard around may insure that he is elected to the majority leadership instead of being cast aside by the Trump-leaning newbies.
