🚨BREAKING: Seven Republican senators are pushing to delay or block the leadership vote that would install John Thune as minority leader.
So far:
• Ron Johnson (WI)
• Mike Lee (UT)
• Rick Scott (FL)
• John Kennedy (LA)
• Dave McCormick (PA)
• Jim Banks (IN)
• Ted Budd (NC)
Every other Republican senator should join them. Thune’s leadership has been a failure.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Retired presidents get ~$253k/yr pension (Exec Level I rate), not $450k. Congress members do not get full salaries for life; pensions avg $45-85k based on service (not automatic full pay). SS retired worker avg ~$25k/yr, not $12k.

JUST IN: Sources tell me that John Thune is actively campaigning to stop Marsha Blackburn from naming Rep. Tim Burchett as her replacement in the U.S. Senate. Thune does not want Burchett anywhere near the Senate chamber. And that's what makes Burchett the perfect choice! @timburchett
