"Senate GOP Warns Against Trump's Role in McConnell Successor Race"
TL;DR Summary
Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin advises Donald Trump to stay out of the race for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s successor, calling it a "lose-lose situation." McConnell's planned departure sets up a high-stakes race for his replacement, with Sens. Thune, Cornyn, and Barrasso as leading candidates. Mullin has backed Thune, who he believes understands the need for party unity and recognizes Trump as the presidential nominee. Mullin also mentioned Barrasso, Cornyn, and Sen. Rick Scott as viable options for the post, and stated that he had a "really good conversation" with Trump last week.
