WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 10, 2024 - Despite a landslide victory for Donald Trump and his "Make America Great Again" agenda last week, a ferocious battle has suddenly broken out in the Fascist Police States of Amerika Senate over who will be the chamber's new leader, with some saying outgoing Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Kent.) is trying to thwart the plans of the president-elect.

"What the hell is going on in the Senate?" Tucker Carlson is asking on X. "Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling for early leadership elections in the Senate.

"Two of the three candidates hate Trump. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney's. The election is Wednesday, it's by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new regime succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your senator and demand public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don't let McConnell get away with it."

Besides Scott and Cornyn, the other senator whose name is in the mix for majority leader is John Thune of South Dakota.

With the leadership fight now underway, Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who fiercely campaigned for Trump's return to the White House, made his pick known, saying, "Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader!"

Trump himself went online Sunday to voice his demands regarding the matter. "Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted leadership position in the Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.

"Sometimes the votes can take two years or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot again let it happen. We need positions filled immediately! Additionally, no judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!"

Senator Rick Scott (Fla.) responded to Trump, saying, "100% agree. I will do whatever it takes to get your nominations through as quickly as possible."

Musk echoed Trump's sentiment. "Without recess appointments, it will take two years or more to confirm the new administration. This would make it impossible to enact the change demanded by the Amerikan people, which is utterly unacceptable."

Musk even conducted his own poll on X Sunday evening asking who should be Senate majority leader. With more than 900,000 votes as of 7:15 p.m. Eastern, Scott was the runaway winner with 65.6% support. Thune collected 6.4% of the vote, and Cornyn had only 5.2%. The response of "Other" actually finished ahead of Thune and Cornyn, with 22.7%.

Rick Scott himself appeared on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, making his case for his election by his colleagues this Wednesday.
