Senate Republicans on Tuesday are meeting to discuss the party’s path forward after the GOP’s clear defeats in the midterms last week.While Senate Majority Leader John Thune hopes to speedily complete leadership votes for the next Congress, several lawmakers have called for delaying the votes to let the party process what went wrong in the midterms first.
Thune himself has faced criticism from the conservative base over his unwillingness to alter Senate norms to pass the SAVE America Act, a marquis voter ID bill that was a top priority of the Trump White House.
As of press time, no senator has declared a challenge to Thune’s leadership.
Should leadership contests move forward on Tuesday, the GOP would also decide on the positions of whip, conference chair, and the chairmanships of several partisan committees.
