Republican Senator Mitch McConnell who was reelected Senate minority leader said the party lost centrist voters who saw 'too much chaos, too much negativity’ in the GOP
McConnell fended off the first challenge in his nearly 16-year reign as party chief, after Senator Rick Scott tried to unseat him as minority leader, contending that the "D.C. swamp" was to blame for the party's inability to win a Senate majority.
Thirty-seven Republicans voted for McConnell, who is now positioned to become the longest-serving party leader in Senate history next year, while 10 supported Scott and one voted "present," according to senators. Despite Republican hopes for a "red wave" of support in the Nov. 8 elections, they failed to reverse Democrats' razor-thin Senate majority. They appear to be on course to win a narrow House majority, having won 217 of the 218 seats they would need, with 10 still uncalled.
"He won with authority," Braun said. "If he embraces what some of the members of the caucus have been wanting to get a little resonance on, he's stronger."
