Mitch McConnell Defeats Republican Challenger For GOP Senate Leader

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to respond to some criticisms made by Sen. Rick Scott that the decision by sen. McConnell and others in leadership to not have a specific agenda to run on leading into the midterms hurt some GOP candidates. McConnell disputes this characterization and believes there were other reasons why certain Republican candidates struggled to win their races: "We underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of many of the people in our party and leadership roles is that they're involved in chaos, negativity, excessive attacks and it frightened independent and moderate Republican voters." Later, McConnell won a secret-ballot leadership election putting him on pace to become the longest-serving Senate party leader in US history.
