Sen Cotton on Postponing GOP Leadership Vote: ‘I Don’t See What Difference That Would Make’

COTTON: “I had not heard that before, we do have leadership elections scheduled next week for the new Senate. I’m not aware of any challenges to Senator McConnell or any of the other leaders in the Republican leadership. I think we need to take a look at the agenda that we offered in this Congress, or in this election and what we can do going forward. But we also have to remember that this election is not over. We are still counting ballots in Arizona and in Nevada. And most importantly we're still going to be casting ballots next month in Georgia and we all need to be all in to help another guest of yours tonight, Herschel Walker, if you want to help out tonight you can go to TeamHerschel.com. So let’s focus on making sure we try to get control of the Senate first before we worry about how we organize the Senate.”

KILMEADE: “So postpone the leadership vote.”

COTTON: “I wouldn’t necessarily call for postponing it. Again, ff there's not going to be opposition or any other candidates, I don’t see what difference that would make. But the most important focus for us all right now, I know this is where Senator Rubio and Senator McConnell and Senator Scott and I and everyone else is focused on helping Herschel get across the finish line in December.”
