Some senators have called for the Republican Party’s internal leadership elections to be halted, since they first want to analyze what happened in the midterm elections. In addition to exposing the mistakes that Mitch McConnell has made during his tenure, the current leader of the minority whom they want to overthrow, including Ted Cruz who during his podcast revealed that “it would be crazy” to vote for the senator again.
Senator Ted Cruz expressed his great annoyance through his podcast by saying that feels very angry that the Democrats have so far achieved a majority in the Senate, their last hope to maintain more even dominance is the runoff in Georgia where he expects Raschel Walker to win the contest.
“I’m so angry that I can’t even see clearly. This opportunity was ruined, it was ruined a lot”, were the statements of the Texas senator.

Likewise, Cruz pointed out that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , he could lose his position, after several years of maintaining it, since apart from him, other senators no longer want him to continue being the leader.
“Everyone is somewhat to blame, but it would be crazy if we re-elect the same leadership within two days”, he added annoyed.
Meanwhile, Ted Cruz and other Republicans asked that the Senate leadership votes be postponed until after the 6th of December, the date set for a runoff election for the Senate in Georgia. But everything indicates that this will not happen, since they are scheduled for this Wednesday.
For your part, Senator Rick Scott of Florida told his fellow Republican senators that he will challenge the Senate Minority Leader, to be the House Party Leader next year, as revealed by CNN.
Although he has little chance of succeeding he is the first real challenger who faces McConnell. Scott, who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has had a long-simmering conflict with McConnell, as he differs from resource intervention in senatorial midterm races.
