Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) will run, likely uncontested, to head the Senate Republicans’ campaign committee next year.
According to CNN, Cornyn has already secured the support of incoming, Tea Party-backed GOP senators, despite facing criticism from conservatives that he did not do enough to promote the candidacies of several losing Republican nominees.
The GOP will hold their leadership elections, including their new NRSC chairman, behind closed doors tomorrow.
