Asked Thune if he still thinks of running for WH or being GOP Leader “When I look at the presidential race, timing is everything in politics. At the moment, that’s not something I aspire to. He called aspirations of becoming Senate GOP leader “speculative and hypothetical” — PolitiTweet.org

The people most likely to get the job after him say it’s McConnell’s as long as he wants it. Cornyn: “After he leaves that position, I would be interested in succeeding him.” Thune: “irrespective of what happens in November, he’ll continue to lead the Republican conference.” — PolitiTweet.org

If McConnell wins re-election this fall and keeps winning leadership elections, he’ll surpass Mike Mansfield as longest serving Senate leader. He’s aware of this designation—and passed Dole as longest serving GOP leader two years ago — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell vows to stay on as GOP leader even if Republicans lose Senate. potential successors aren’t angling to succeed him and many Rs say they need him as leader in majority or minority Full story w lots of leadership intrigue w ⁦@BresPolitico⁩ https://t.co/e7jxkG2JEE — PolitiTweet.org

“Every honest person knows that the laws in this country today, they are made almost entirely by unelected bureaucrats and courts. They are not made by this body. Why not? Because this body doesn’t want to make law ... This body is terrified about being held accountable" — PolitiTweet.org

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) —The Nebraska Democratic Party called on its U.S. Senate nominee to drop out of the race Tuesday after he made sexually repugnant comments about a campaign staffer in a group text with her and other staffers. https://t.co/UFJGCvQdse — PolitiTweet.org

Faced with the same sort of stance from Democrats on minimum wage, paycheck fairness, etc., McConnell + GOP shot down Dem agenda items as they eyed Senate control in 2014. Anything can happen, but this is not usually a process that creates a law — PolitiTweet.org

Hawley says he isn't blaming judges that wrote opinion, but the system that put him there. Says the blowback he got for tough Qs for Trump judges unwarranted "This is why I ask questions. This is why I won't stop. And I wish some more people would ask some harder questions" — PolitiTweet.org

Now Hawley is trashing the Senate "This body is terrified of being held accountable for anything on anything subject" Says since Senate "refuses to do it's job" that empowers courts and bureaucrats — PolitiTweet.org

Says the "conservative legal movement" is now over. "If we've been fighting for originalism and textualism and this is the result of that? It turns out we haven't been fighting for very much ... or the opposite of what we've been fighting for" — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Hawley is calling the Supreme Court decision yesterday on LGTBQ a "piece of legislation" "It did what this Congress has pointedly declined to do for years now, which is to change ... a historic piece of legislation" (Civil Rights Act) — PolitiTweet.org

@BresPolitico But I have a primary challenge from @MZanona — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

It's time to ask the Politico Congress team: Does @BresPolitico have your support as leader? — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Ever since last night’s cold water, Senate Republicans have sounded more insistent they tackle police reform now and not in July. Question is whether it can pass: Senate Democrats largely not involved in negotiations at this point — PolitiTweet.org

Siren emoji -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday he planned to stay on as Republican leader regardless of whether he's relegated to the minority or keeps control of the Senate. "I do," https://t.co/e7jxkG2JEE @BresPolitico — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

Asked if a Trump veto threat matters, he said: "Obviously that's not something that you trifle with." "We have to proceed here and right now we've got a provision in the bill that, at least for right now, looks like that's going to be maybe the new position" — PolitiTweet.org

Majority Whip Thune also says it will be difficult to strip out the amendment renaming confederate bases "It'll probably take 60 votes to get out," he said. "This is a debate whose time has probably come. I think we'll listen to where people in the country are" — PolitiTweet.org

Burgess Everett @burgessev

GOP now cracking door open to considering police reform before July 4. Thune says it could come up if McConnell and rest of party decides to go forward, could potentially delay defense bill. McConnell noncommital earlier when asked by @mkraju — PolitiTweet.org
