Senate Republicans set to debate leadership-vote delay

Semafor reports that Sen. Ron Johnson is leading a push to delay the Senate Republican leadership election. A special conference meeting is scheduled before senators vote on whether to delay the election, which is planned for Tuesday. John Thune says he does not see how postponement would solve anything, while agreeing the party needs to discuss its future. Several senators do not expect the proposal to prevail. Senators also offered competing explanations for reported Republican losses, including tariffs, the war with Iran, Medicaid cuts, candidate choices and the party’s relationship with Trump; these are their political assessments, not established causes.
