Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing a upcoming challenge to his position as the top Republican in the Senate.

• NBC NEWS – Several senators are campaigning to delay a vote scheduled for next week that was expected to return McConnell to the top job. 

• FOX NEWS – Former President Donald Trump is blaming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for Republicans not winning more seats in the U.S. Senate, as their chances of flipping a majority in the chamber become more unlikely.

• NEWSWEEK – Republican U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters has criticized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after an expected ‘red wave’ in the midterms failed to materailize.

• NEWS YORK POST – Trump also ripped McConnell for refusing to overturn the 2020 presidential election, funding Democratic agenda items, and allowing them to increase the debt ceiling, Fox News reported.

.@bgmasters: "McConnell decided to spend millions of dollars attacking a fellow Republican in Alaska instead of helping me defeat Mark Kelly. Had he chosen to spend money in Arizona, this race would be over."

McConnell is plotting to ram through a leadership vote before the run-off in GA. This is how McConnell operates. Ted Cruz urges a delay, as do Hawley, Rubio, Johnson, and Lee. https://t.co/6PqcahWzWa

It makes no sense for Senate to have leadership elections before GA runoff.

We don’t yet know whether we’ll have a majority & Herschel Walker deserves a say in our leadership.

Critically, we need to hear a specific plan for the next 2 yrs from any candidate for leadership.
