After retaking control of the Senate in last weeks election's, GOP Senators will gather today to elect a new majority leader, to replace longtime Democrat Chuck Schumer.
There are three candidates in the running, with lots of speculation as to who might be best to lead under president elect Donald Trump.
"We're going to have a new era, and I am 100% with president Trump when I call for Florida's Rick Scott to be our next United States Senate leader" said Reid Rasner, a former U.S. Senate candidate from Wyoming.
Also in the running is current party whip John Thune from South Dakota, and Texas Senator John Cornyn.
"We get a Thune, or we get a Cornyn, and we're going to have Mitch McConnell 2.0" Rasner told KTRH, "Cornyn is a great guy, I just don't think he's the guy for the job at this time."
Like Thune, John Cornyn also served as the party whip for six years, and both have had an icy relationship with Trump in the past.
The Republican Senators will vote today via a secret ballot.
