Stop the Plot Against Trump in the U.S. Senate
November 11, 2024 | Montgomery County, TX
After 17 years, U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell announced in February that he would step down as Senate Republican Leader after the General Election.
McConnell has called for early Senate Leadership Elections to be held this Wednesday, November 13. Senate rules make the vote anonymous!
Who’s running? John Cornyn (Texas), Rick Scott (Florida), and John Thune (South Dakota).
Two of the candidates, John Cornyn and John Thune, are anti-Trump, have been mentored by McConnell, have pushed anti-Trump hoaxes, and are almost certainly running to continue the work of obstructing Trump policies.
Even though Cornyn is a Republican U.S. Senator for Texas, he does not represent the values of the Republican Party. In fact, he was booed at the 2022 Texas GOP Convention for his stance on gun laws, and continues to act more like a Democrat than a Republican (see his Heritage Action score below).
Rick Scott is the only candidate who has promised to support Trump.
FACT: Senator Bernie Sanders has a higher Heritage Action Conservative Score for this term than Senator John Cornyn!
Bernie Sanders 46%
John Cornyn 35% (Lifetime score = 64%)
See their vote comparison.
John Thune 37%
Rick Scott 92%
Extra comparison: JD Vance 93%, Mike Lee 91%, Ted Cruz 90%
Conclusion: Cornyn and Thune should have opposed the Biden-Harris agenda. They should have voted against Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. They didn’t. John Cornyn and John Thune are not acceptable. Rick Scott’s record and his written commitments to the America First Agenda make him the best choice of those running.
President Trump has not endorsed for Senate Majority Leader, but he did declare yesterday that anybody running for Senate Majority Leader needed to support “recess” appointments to allow the Trump Team to fill positions quickly without waiting for the Senate to drag around confirmations.
Senator Ted Cruz has not come out to endorse anyone as Senate Majority Leader. Podcaster Benny Johnson called his sources this weekend and reported an alleged leaked internal whip-count for the leadership vote. According to the source, Senator Cruz is planning to vote for Thune.
Contact Senator Ted Cruz TODAY:
Congratulate him on handily winning re-election. Ask him to publicly endorse and vote for Senator Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader. Let him know you do NOT want Cornyn or Thune. They will be roadblocks to America First reforms. Also ask him to demand a public ballot for this election, not a secret ballot.

Contact Senator JD Vance TODAY:
Senator Vance retains his U.S. Senator seat until sworn in as VP on January 20, 2025. Call and congratulate him on the landslide. Ask him to let President Trump know that Texas Republicans want Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader and that we need him to endorse Rick Scott.
