Who will replace McConnell as top Senate Republican?

With Mitch McConnell stepping down as Senate Majority Leader, the question on everyone’s mind is who will replace him as the top Senate Republican. Names such as John Thune, John Barrasso, and Roy Blunt have been floated as potential successors, but the outcome is still uncertain.

As the Republican Party navigates a post-Trump era and seeks to maintain control of the Senate, the choice of McConnell’s replacement is crucial. It will shape the party’s strategy and agenda going forward, and could have significant implications for the 2022 midterm elections.

With tensions running high within the party and divisions between Trump loyalists and more traditional conservatives, the decision on McConnell’s successor is not an easy one. Ultimately, it will be up to the Senate Republicans to come to a consensus and select a leader who can unite the party and effectively lead them in the Senate.
