According to a breaking news report from Insider Wire, Republican Senator Dave McCormick opposes John Thune's re-election as Senate Republican Leader. Thune has previously stated that he will seek re-election as party leader even if the Republican Party loses control of the Senate in the midterm elections. Republican senators are scheduled to hold a closed-door vote on November 10 to elect the next caucus leader. If McCormick's opposition is confirmed, it will add new obstacles to Thune's re-election bid.
