GOP Leadership Race: Cornyn, Thune, and Trump's Influence

U.S. Senator John Cornyn is vying to become the next Senate Majority Leader, aiming to succeed Mitch McConnell. Cornyn, a seasoned politician with a strong fundraising record, faces competition from John Thune and Rick Scott. Despite his extensive experience and connections, Cornyn faces criticism from the right wing of his party, particularly for his bipartisan efforts and support for gun safety legislation. The leadership decision will be made by a secret ballot among Senate Republicans, with Cornyn's ability to navigate party dynamics and his legislative record being key factors in his bid.
