“The race to succeed Mitch McConnell atop the Senate GOP could last for months without a clear winner, thanks to one big wildcard: Election Day,” Politico reports.
“Although Republicans are optimistic about their chances of winning the Senate in November, they still don’t know which candidates might deliver them the majority, or even how big that majority could be.
Not to mention if Donald Trump wins back the presidency, his preference is bound to prove a critical factor in the leadership battle — if he loses, on the other hand, the GOP may look for a clean break from Trump’s pick.”
