KEILAR It s so ░░░░░░░░ because Trump hasn t ░░░░░░░░ involved and this is ░░░░░░░░ secret ballot I wonder ░░░░░░░░ there sort of a ░░░░░░░░ danger maybe in him ░░░░░░░░ involved Because it could ░░░░░░░░ out that even if ░░░░░░░░ says hey this is ░░░░░░░░ guy I want that ░░░░░░░░ not the one that ░░░░░░░░ up getting picked And ░░░░░░░░ the same time you ░░░░░░░░ a bunch of his ░░░░░░░░ of allies pointing towards ░░░░░░░░ Scott RAJU Yeah it ░░░░░░░░ really a fascinating dynamic ░░░░░░░░ would be the first ░░░░░░░░ endorsement decision since he ░░░░░░░░ the presidency This vote ░░░░░░░░ happening on Wednesday It ░░░░░░░░ a secret ballot election ░░░░░░░░ things typically go more ░░░░░░░░ relationships What have you ░░░░░░░░ for me lately What ░░░░░░░░ assignments are you promising ░░░░░░░░ much fundraising have you ░░░░░░░░ for me over the ░░░░░░░░ And we know Cornyn ░░░░░░░░ Thune Cornyn in particular ░░░░░░░░ done so much fundraising ░░░░░░░░ his colleagues for many ░░░░░░░░ Thune has done a ░░░░░░░░ as Republican whip to ░░░░░░░░ those inroads to a ░░░░░░░░ of his members Rick ░░░░░░░░ not as much which ░░░░░░░░ why we are seeing ░░░░░░░░ we expect that Thune ░░░░░░░░ Cornyn are the heavy ░░░░░░░░ Even though Scott is ░░░░░░░░ is liked by MAGA ░░░░░░░░ Elon Musk came out ░░░░░░░░ said he supports him ░░░░░░░░ on the right wing ░░░░░░░░ the party are saying ░░░░░░░░ should support him but ░░░░░░░░ don t have votes ░░░░░░░░ the United States Senate ░░░░░░░░ they don t influence ░░░░░░░░ lot of Republican senators ░░░░░░░░ is why the betting ░░░░░░░░ right now that it ░░░░░░░░ going to be Thune ░░░░░░░░ Cornyn who are likely ░░░░░░░░ prevail here and why ░░░░░░░░ is probably saying maybe ░░░░░░░░ the best decision to ░░░░░░░░ right now because it ░░░░░░░░ go the wrong way ░░░░░░░░ I do.”
