Three “Senate Johns” are now officially running for new Republican leadership posts — but Wyoming’s John Barrasso on Tuesday announced that there will be no three-way race to replace Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell as GOP leader.
Barrasso made clear in a Tuesday statement that his focus is on the No. 2 post.
“I have had time to reflect on how I might best serve the Republican Conference and our country,” he said. “After a lot of thought, I will ask my colleagues for their support and help to work for them as the assistant Republican leader.”
