As the race for the next Senate GOP leader heats up, potential successors to Mitch McConnell are actively campaigning and seeking support from key figures within the party. Senators John Cornyn and John Thune are considered the frontrunners in this leadership contest, with both candidates investing significant resources in supporting GOP candidates and rallying voters.

Both Cornyn and Thune have been actively cultivating their relationships with Trump, recognizing his sway within a faction of the GOP.
