Last Tuesday’s historic comeback victory for Donald J. Trump was one for the ages. It sent a clear message to the Democrat Party, Corporate Media, elites, and globalists that Americans are fed up with the agenda they’ve crammed down our throats for the last four years. A majority of voters decided that the America First agenda, championed by Donald Trump and JD Vance, is the playbook for American greatness.

With the election season now in the rearview mirror, Senators will return to Washington and select the next Senate Republican Majority Leader this week. The American people gave Republicans in the Senate a mandate to deliver the platform that President Trump ran on. For this reason, only a Republican Senator that enthusiastically embraces this mandate will receive my support for Majority Leader.

I encourage all my Senate colleagues to listen to the American people and follow suit. Senate Republicans must choose a Senate Republican Majority Leader that reflects the will of the American people. Only Senators who share the President-elect’s America First vision for the next four years should be considered for this job.

First and foremost, any candidate for GOP Majority Leader must commit to prioritizing legislation that closes the border and facilitates deportations, reins in wasteful spending, restores America’s energy independence, reshores American manufacturing, and purges our military of wokeness so it is once again the most lethal fighting force in the world.

The nightmarish last four years of this administration have done serious damage to our Republic. There is no time to waste. The Senate Republican Majority Leader must demonstrate a commitment to passing legislation in each of these categories. The leader needs to go big or go home and deliver on President Trump’s agenda.

In addition to these legislative priorities, the GOP Majority Leader should voice support for enacting reforms to the leader’s powers—decentralizing the authority of the office. My friend and colleague Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has drafted a number of excellent reforms that will give all Republican Senators a seat at the table in order to represent the varying needs of each state and help enact conservative policies to benefit all Americans.

Some of these reforms include allowing rank-and-file conservative Senators the opportunity to vote on amendments on important bills, providing Senators with enough time to review massive spending bills, and providing a schedule for the consideration of separate spending bills instead of jamming through ominous bills at the eleventh hour.

One of the most important reforms proposed by Senator Lee is requiring the majority support of the Senate Republican Conference before moving on legislation. It encourages Republican Senators to unify around bills. In essence, all of these reforms will make sure the Senate is an institution for the people and by the people, not the elites.

In addition to passing legislation that codifies President Trump’s proposed agenda, a prospective Senate Republican Majority Leader must ensure that Senate Republicans are not undermining President Trump’s objectives, legislatively or otherwise. It’s no secret that this has been an issue in the past.

The last thing the President-elect should deal with is a RINO Senate acting as a thorn in his side. President Trump has been through hell and back fighting for the American people. He survived two assassination attempts, partisan lawfare from a corrupt administration, and baseless lies from the Corporate Media who tried their best to keep him out of the White House. The right Senate Republican Majority Leader for the job will make President Trump’s job easier, not harder.

Finally, a Republican Majority Leader needs to have the courage to push back against the corrupt media. The leader of the Republican-controlled Senate should realize by now that the mainstream media has zero credibility and is the enemy of the people. Put simply, if Jimmy Kimmel is upset with Republicans in the Senate, the leader is doing the right thing.

You can expect mainstream media outlets to begin labeling Republicans with the vilest of names these next few years. We saw that repeatedly during President Trump’s first term. A Majority Leader shouldn’t care one bit about what the media is saying. The Leader must commit to delivering an America First agenda to the American people, regardless of what the mainstream media says.

The Senate Republican Conference should have complete confidence in supporting a leader that will adhere to these propositions. For the first time in two decades, a Republican President won the popular vote and the electoral college. Both chambers of Congress are in Republican control. Americans sent Democrats packing, and Republicans to Washington, because it’s unsatisfied with business as usual. Americans want every part of President Trump’s agenda—and they want it now.

For these reasons, I am supporting Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) for Majority Leader. He has been a champion for the America First movement and will shake up the status quo in Washington.

As my Senate colleagues return to Washington, I will encourage all of them to take these ideas into consideration. By selecting the right Senate leadership, we can deliver on the American people’s mandate and restore faith in our system of government. A new American Golden Age is within reach, and Senator Rick Scott can help President Donald Trump deliver for all Americans.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., the former head football coach at Auburn University, the University of Mississippi, Texas Tech, and the University of Cincinnati, made the statement on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

“He told me a year ago, Maria, when we were playing golf one day. He says, ‘Coach, I’m going to have a great chance of winning New York.’ I said, ‘You’ve lost your mind.’ He goes, ‘You wait and see. We’re going to work New York hard, we’re gonna get the people and tell people the truth about what’s happening, and we’re going to clean our city and our states up around the country, and New York’s going to be one of them.’ So, hey, he’s giving it a run for it, and I think he’s got a good chance.”

“Wow, that is incredible, if he were to take New York,” Bartiromo responded, as she noted large crowds of Trump fans waiting outside Madison Square Garden in New York City for a Trump campaign rally scheduled for 5 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

New York has most often voted for the more liberal candidate in U.S. elections, and has been a safe haven for Democrats since the 1988 contest, with former President Ronald Reagan being the last Republican to take the Empire State in 1984, when he won a 49-state landslide.

Bartiromo then asked Tuberville, who also sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee: “Do you think you could do a Republican sweep here?”

“I think we could – it’s going to be very close,” he replied.

“Again, I don’t know much about the House. I think the Senate – I think we’re going to get 51-54 seats in the Senate, just the work that I’ve seen over the last four or five months. And, of course, President Trump, he’s run a very the strong campaign the last three weeks, Maria.”

“He’s got to win. Our country is in such tailspin. The people that say they might not vote for Trump is the young people, and they’re voting against their future. I don’t understand that.

“I’ve been trying to tell all these young people across the country your future is at stake if you don’t elect somebody that believes in America, and believes in the Constitution like President Trump, you’re gonna have a tough time in life. So, looking forward to working, hopefully, with a lot of these young kids and getting them to vote for President Trump.”
