"Republican Senators Jockey for Leadership Role as McConnell Steps Down"

After Sen. Mitch McConnell announced his resignation as Republican leader, the race to replace him has begun, with three potential successors, known as the "three Johns," emerging as frontrunners. The list includes John Cornyn, John Thune, and John Barrasso, all of whom have endorsed Donald Trump. Other potential candidates include Steve Daines and Rick Scott. The Senate Republicans will vote for their next leader in November, with McConnell's successor taking over in January.
