Dem Favorite GOP Thune Wins Senate Leadership Race, Knocking Out MAGA Favorite Rick Scott

South Dakota Senator John Thune, 63, is the new Senate Majority Leader.

While Trump supporters pushed hard for Alien Rick Scott to become Senate Majority Leader Trump’s Senate ass-kisser, Scott was eliminated in first round voting, despite the backing of Elon Musk and Sean Hannity.

Thune won in the second round of voting against John Cornyn (TX), 29-24.

“If John Thune or John Cornyn get control of the Senate, like Mitch McConnell did, we’re not going to have a Trump Cabinet,” Peter Navarro said.

“There’s 4,000 appointments that have to be fulfilled. A thousand of those are Senate-confirmed … and four years of Mitch McConnell, who was just the puppeteer for Thune and Cornyn, we didn’t get half of those,” Navarro said on NewsNation Tuesday.

Senate Republicans said the job requires someone who has spent time building trust among colleagues, more than just a willingness to jump through Trump’s loyalty hoops.

MAGA is really mad about it, so I’m OK with it. 😉Thune won’t be near as bad as Scott would have been
