What if McConnell loses?
What if McConnell loses?-politico: It’s a taboo subject among Senate Republicans but one that’s on many senators’ minds: What if Mitch McConnell loses his reelection bid? There appears to be no clear answer to that question, at least not right now. In interviews and private conversations with more than half of the 45-member Senate Republican Conference, there is a split over a potential McConnell successor, a sign that there could be an opening for a new GOP leader should Democrats pull off an upset in the Kentucky Senate race.
