JD Vance can act as Senate Majority

JD Vance could still effectively serve as Senate Majority Leader if John Thune obstructs the MAGA mandate:

"There is a little-known procedure in the Senate that gives the Majority Leader the right to be recognized on the floor first. Who decides to recognize them? The person sitting in the chair at the front of the room. That chair belongs to JD Vance.

Anybody else sitting in that chair is borrowing his seat. He can walk in the room, kick them out, take the seat, and recognize whoever he wants who is gonna move President Trump's nominees.

He can actually decide who is running the show."
