John Thune Vows to Maximize Lame Duck Push

“With their leadership elections settled, Senate Republicans are gearing up to ‘maximize’ their remaining time in power before Senate Democrats take over next year,” Fox News reports.

“All eyes are again on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) who was re-elected to another term as the Republican leader.”

Said Thune: “That means extending the calendar here, the number of days we’re here, the number of hours we’re here, the number of votes we may end up taking. But we are going to finish this legislative session strong.”
