Senator John Cornyn (RINO-TX) has officially entered<\/a> the race to succeed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY). <\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit reported<\/a> yesterday, the 82-year-old McConnell announced he would be stepping down as leader of the Senate GOP in November. <\/p>\n

Cornyn, in a statement, explained<\/a> why he decided to run to succeed McConnell.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am asking my Republican colleagues to give me the opportunity to succeed Leader [Mitch] McConnell. I have learned a lot during my time both in and out of Senate leadership. Throughout my time, I\u2019ve built a track record of listening to colleagues and seeking consensus while leading the fight to stop bad policies that are harmful to our nation and the conservative cause.\u201d<\/p>\n

I believe the Senate is broken \u2014 that is not news to anyone. The good news is it can be fixed, and I intend to play a role in fixing it.<\/p>\n

From experience, I have learned what works in the Senate and what does not. And I am confident Senate Republicans can restore our institution to the essential role it serves in our constitutional republic.<\/p>\n

Cornyn also claimed<\/a> he would improve communication between members, move spending bills individually and try to include every member in decisions. The AP notes<\/a> this is in response to constant complaints from some senators about year-end spending bills and McConnell\u2019s leadership approach.<\/p>\n

As The Hill notes<\/a>, Cornyn is widely expected to face off against Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) for the post.<\/p>\n

One source told the outlet<\/a> that Thune and Cornyn were on speed-dial with other members on Wednesday afternoon as they prepared to run. <\/p>\n

This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n
