Senate Republicans choose John Thune as their new leader, replacing McConnell
Senate Republicans choose John Thune as their new leader, replacing McConnell
Thune, of South Dakota, beat out Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Rick Scott of Florida in a secret ballot election to replace Mitch McConnell in the top job.
This is not terrible.
Bad, but not terrible.
I don't know anything about Thune yet, but I'm very familiar with Scott and thankfckinggod it wasn't him.
Thune is at least a proponent of NATO, and supporter of Ukraine in so far as it repels Russian aggression in the region. So at least we know the mandate in the Senate for the moment.
I wouldn't go anywhere near saying he was a good choice, but he was the least bad choice of the three options by a country fucking mile.
Well, that went slightly better than the worst it could have possibly gone, so...hooray?
