Sen. John Thune Wins Majority Leader Post In Notable Snub To MAGA | Colorado Pols

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : While by no means a "Never Trumper" after working hard to mend fences with Trump this year, the selection of Thune is nonetheless being hailed as a small victory for sanity and a potential check on Trump's far-reaching designs to permanently reshape the federal government from the ground up.
50% : Expect Wadhams like Thune to watch what they say early on, but if this partnership frays in the same manner as Trump and Mitch McConnell's did we may see it first between the lines in Wadhams' opinion columns.
43% : Trump then called for someone to challenge Thune in his 2022 primary, but no one emerged, and Thune prevailed.
37% : Thune initially endorsed Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., in the 2024 GOP primary, but later supported Trump after Scott dropped out of the race for the White House.
