With Republicans taking back control of the Senate and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell finally stepping down, three Senators have emerged as possible Majority Leaders.
Two of them are RINOs—John Thune and John Cornyn—while Rick Scott may not have the support to prevent either “McConnell 2.0” from ascending.
Senator Mike Lee has a plan. Well, it’s really just a theory combined with a wish, but it has a lot of conservatives wanting to sprinkle any fairy dust they can find on it so they can make it come true. The “John Adams Plan” would have Vice-President-Elect J.D. Vance ascend to the role of Senate Majority Leader while also fulfilling his duties as President of the Senate.
Crazier ideas have been put forth. Here’s what Senator Lee recently posted on 𝕏:
Here’s the point I was making:
Regardless of who Senate Republicans elect as the new majority leader, @JDVance will be the president of the Senate, and as such will be in a good position to lead the Senate GOP—to whatever extent and in whatever way he chooses to do so
In that respect, @JDVance doesn’t have to run to be the Senate’s GOP leader
He already did
And he won
So regardless of who might become the majority leader—a position we need to fill from among Republican senators—@JDVance could still “pull a John Adams,” and thus become the highest-ranking & most-influential Republican in the Senate
“Constitutional Scholars” have emerged on 𝕏 to try to shoot down the idea but here’s the thing. The Senate Majority Leader isn’t even a Constitutional role. It is part of the Senate’s own internal rules so giving Vance “side job” as Majority Leader while also retaining his VP role as President of the Senate seems viable.
Having the presidency and retaining control of the House are obviously important if we’re to see Donald Trump’s full agenda fulfilled, but handing the reins of the Senate over to Thune or Cornyn will greatly hamper the agenda. Both have interests that are often opposed to the America First policies Trump wants to sign. With a Democrat-leaning Senate map coming up in the midterms, it appears likely that Trump will only have two years to complete his mission unhampered.
Either Thune or Cornyn would hamper that mission.
Senator Lee’s plan is gaining traction among conservative media heavy hitters. Both Charlie Kirk and Glenn Beck endorsed the plan Friday:
A poll posted by Senator Lee on 𝕏 shows Scott as the favorite among the conservative base.
Who would you like to see as the next Senate Republican leader?

Meanwhile, leftist corporate media has been attacking Senator Scott. Axios posted an article Thursday claiming that Trump didn’t feel Scott was a good Senate Majority Leader candidate. It cited anonymous sources, of course, but Google searches for Scott taking the role showed the Axios headline up top. That is often enough to spread a false narrative and damage sentiment toward Scott.

Rick Scott for Leader.

We all need to support Rick Scott (R-FL) for Senate Majority Leader.
Otherwise, it will be a repeat of 2016 & you’ll have Paul Ryan saboteurs.
Call your Senators & tell them they need to vote for Senator Rick Scott.
We also demand a public vote.

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 comes out in support of @ScottforFlorida for Senate GOP leader.
The right decision.
I hope President Trump sees that his most vocal supporters all want Rick Scott.
Not for selfish reasons… but to PROTECT Donald Trump from liars and opportunists.… https://t.co/WuTJi5mTSA

We desperately need Trump to publicly support Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader.
If it’s Cornyn or Thune, it’s a continuation of McConnell.
And without Trump’s weight behind Scott, he will not win.
This matters. A lot.

We need Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader
MAGA just swept the country with a mandate
Not the RINO uniparty types like John Thune and John Cornyn

Why in the world did Josh Hawley just back John Cornyn for Senate Majority Leader?
Cornyn is one of the absolute worst.
Rick Scott needs to be leader.

President Trump’s first term was subverted by Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. He will be subverted again if “McConnell 2.0” is running the Senate. J.D. Vance or Rick Scott as Senate Majority Leader would put Trump’s agenda into overdrive.
