Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell won reelection as Senate GOP leader on Wednesday, defeating challenger Sen. Rick Scott.
McConnell has secured the position despite calls from several prominent senators that the election should be postponed, including Ted Cruz, who said he would offer a motion to delay the election until after Georgia's runoff election.
That effort failed and McConnell has maintained his position of power in the Senate.
In a letter on Tuesday, Scott said that he was trying to put the GOP on a new path: "I’m writing to you today because I believe it’s time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past. We must start saying what we are for, not just what we are against. I do not believe we can simply continue to say the Democrats are radical, which they are. Republican voters expect and deserve to know our plan to promote and advance conservative values."
He added, "If you simply want to stick with the status quo, don’t vote for me."
McConnell has been a Senator since the Reagan administration, and was confident he would keep his position. "I have the votes. I will be elected," McConnell said to reporters, according to Fox News. "The only issue is whether we do it sooner or later."
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
