Senator Mitch McConnell fended off a challenge from Florida Sen. Rick Scott to hold on to his position as GOP leader on Wednesday.
In a secret ballot election, McConnell, R-Ky., garnered 37 votes to Scott's 10, with one senator abstaining, according to Sen. Ted Cruz.
McConnell gave a thumbs up as he walked through the Capitol after securing his victory.
A separate vote on a motion to delay the leadership vote until after the Georgia Senate run-off election on December 6 also failed 16-32.

He got all those judges, by the way.
And another senate leader wouldn't? What was McConnell's secret sauce that others don't have?
And, more importantly, if he does indeed have that secret sauce, why doesn't he use it to advance conservative legislation, or even a repeal of commie care?
Moscow Mitch is just another argument for term limits.
Honestly, as a minority leader, McConnell ain’t to bad. he has no articulated vision and would probably lack as a Majority leader, but he isn’t bad at being an obstacle to Democrat desires.
The moment he loses God’s permission, it’s over.
Same with each of us. The next couple of years will
interesting to watch with this one.
Oh, would we like to be able to express where you should go, turd.
And how we’d like you to go.
And how long it would take.
Oh, wait. Pretentious.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
The useless US Senate can’t even raise a 10-man squad to defend them. Time to defy them.
What you just said points to him wanting to be a permanent minority leader.
Your expiry date is fast approaching, Mr. McTurtle.
We are all mortal.
Actually, Mitch, you don’t have a lot to say about that.
God does and you’re not going to live forever either.
Nobody has yet.
Don’t tempt God.
He’s only 80. By Senate standards, that’s like a middle ager, right?
I’m convinced only sociopaths want to work when they’re 80+.
Fox Headline: Mitch McConnell on track to become longest-serving leader in Senate history

Clark Griswold in scene after the family car went 50 feet in the air off the closed freeway construction:
“That’s nothing to be proud of, Rusty. Nothing to be proud of.”
?? What I said is that he’s not bad at being an obstacle in the Senate is all.
Take away his being the head of the NRSC...that would be wise.
But the Senate has been forever neutered post the 17th Amendment when the Senators were now popularly elected in each state vice State Legislature appointed.
States have NO representation in the National Government, and it was never intended to be so. McConnel can’t fix that
“Honestly, as a minority leader, McConnell ain’t to bad. he has no articulated vision and would probably lack as a Majority leader, but he isn’t bad at being an obstacle to Democrat desires.”
Before Trump showed up, McConnell was target #1 for the democrats.(Especially, during the Mulatto Messiah Presidency)
McTurtle just ‘digs in’ and says ‘screw it’ and there isn’t much anybody can do about it.
“That is the reality of the McConnell situation.”
But you should. Really you should.
February 20, 1942 (age 80)
And they didn’t allow Rick Scott into the leadership conference.
The Turtle is massively corrupt.
Go to Hell, McConnell.
