Steve Daines Won’t Run for Senate GOP Leader

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) “won’t be shaking up the race to replace Mitch McConnell, even if Senate Republicans claim a commanding majority next week thanks to his campaign work,” Semafor reports.

Said Daines: “I’m appreciative of everybody who’s asked me to consider it, but I’m not going to run for majority leader. I very much enjoyed serving as chairman of the NRSC. But I know when you become majority leader, you spend a lot more time in D.C.”
