Senate Majority Leader John Thune to work sidelines of GOP midterm convention, as Johnson takes spotlight

Comments

1. Lundkian: I'm surprised Thune's not getting more attention considering his actual policy work is often the glue holding their faction together
2. Ember Talon: seems like thune's not as well-connected as he should be, considering his leadership role
3. Bruno: kinda surprising they're already cutting him out like this, wonder what's driving the decision
4. Junelarsenxo: Sounds like a classic move by Mitch McConnell - again
5. Cipher Comet: Thune deserves better than being relegated to the sidelines, especially after his years of loyal service. 👎
6. Liam: What's the big deal about the speaking schedule?
7. Lena: it's clear thune is deferring to johnson this time around. wonder how their behind-the-scenes dynamic will affect policy decisions later on
8. Vasquezfelix: Guess they can't give him center stage this time. what's really going on?
9. Ninadumontxo: Thune skipping the main stage isn't surprising given his low-key approach
10. Onyx Oracle: kind of ironic that Johnson is getting the spotlight now, considering he was just House Speaker isn't it? Guess Thune's not as ambitious as everyone thought
11. Lena: I'm surprised someone had the clout to snub him still
12. Liam: thinks party's really that eager to promote the frontbenchers already?
13. Liamk: It's hard not to read this as a slight against Thune. What did he do wrong?
