GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas‚ who has been in office for more than two decades‚ has thrown his hat into the ring to serve as the next Senate Republican leader."I am asking my Republican colleagues to give me the opportunity to succeed Leader McConnell‚" Cornyn said in a statement. "We will restore the important role of Senate committees and reestablish the regular appropriations process‚ rather than lurch from one crisis to another. And we will return power back to our members; there will be no more backroom deals or forced votes on bills without adequate time for review‚ debate‚ and amendment. I am ready to get to work and look forward to continuing to engage with my colleagues." — (@) Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky announced on Wednesday that his current term as Senate GOP leader post will be his last‚ though he indicated that he plans to continue serving in the Senate as a lawmaker. "Our friend from Kentucky is a rare example of what a public servant should be: pragmatic‚ knowledgeable‚ humble‚ and effective. He has led the Senate through difficult periods‚ and I am grateful for his dedicated service to our country and this institution‚" Cornyn said in a post on X.Like McConnell‚ Cornyn was one of the Senate Republicans who earlier this month voted in favor of a measure that would‚ in part‚ provide for additional U.S. assistance to Ukraine. "This legislation replenishes our military stockpiles and addresses the biggest national security threats we face‚ from Hamas' horrific attacks on Israel to China's aggression in the Indo-Pacific to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine‚" Cornyn said in a statement.Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‚ who mounted a bid for the Democratic presidential nomination last year before later switching to run as an independent‚ has suggested that Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky would be a good pick to fill the Senate GOP leader role."It's time to promote leaders in Washington‚ DC who won't kowtow to the military contractors or push us deeper into foreign conflicts‚" Kennedy tweeted. "We need representation who will prioritize American wellness over all else. I believe @RandPaul would be an incredible successor. He's shown great judgment and has the grit to put hardworking Americans first." — (@) Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Republican Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee‚ who announced earlier this month that he would not seek re-election‚ has now reversed course and declared that he will run for another term."While my strong desire was to leave Congress at the end of this year‚ since my announcement‚ I have received countless calls from constituents‚ colleagues‚ and President Trump urging me to reconsider‚" the lawmaker said in a statement‚ according to reports. "I was reminded of the words of General MacArthur on a statue at West Point: 'Duty‚ honor‚ country.' I realized‚ once again: I had a duty to my country to fulfill. I will be running for re-election so I can be here on Day 1 next year to help President Trump end this border crisis once and for all."In a post on Truth Social on Thursday‚ former President Donald Trump said that if Green ran for re-election he would endorse the lawmaker's bid."Mark Green has had lots of options because of his political talents‚ and the great job he has done as a Congressman‚ but given the fantastic work he's doing as Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee‚ I hope he runs for Re-Election to the U.S. House of Representatives. If he does‚ he has my Complete and Total Endorsement!" Trump declared.Earlier this month‚ when revealing his intent not to seek re-election‚ Green had said in a statement‚ "Our country–and our Congress–is broken beyond most means of repair. I have come to realize our fight is not here within Washington‚ our fight is with Washington. As I have done my entire life‚ I will continue serving this country–but in a new capacity."Green has served in Congress since 2019.Like Blaze News?
