上周选举夜的惨败让一众参议院共和党人在重返华盛顿后希望审视局势。
参议院共和党原定将于周二上午举行领导层选举，预计南达科他州共和党参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩将寻求连任共和党领袖一职。
但由威斯康星州共和党参议员罗恩·约翰逊率领的一小部分人希望推迟领导层选举，以便在经历上周令人震惊的败选后进行情况汇报，并规划未来成为少数党的道路。民主党已通过赢得54个席位掌控参议院，这个数字还可能根据密西西比州和阿拉斯加州的计票结果进一步增加。

福克斯新闻数字频道获得的约翰逊致共和党参议院党团主席阿肯色州共和党参议员汤姆·科顿的信中称，选举应推迟“直到我们都有机会听取领导层候选人阐述我们应采取何种合作式党团治理模式，以及我们将制定何种策略以对抗底气渐足的民主党人”。
“周二的结果是一场令人震惊的败选，原因众多，”约翰逊写道，“我们需要在党团内认真讨论，才能为2028年的选举改善结果。”
“在没有充分讨论和评估领导层竞选者打算如何履职的情况下就举行领导层选举，将是政治上的失职，”他继续说道，“这绝不是世界上最伟大的议事机构应采取的领导层选举方式。”

参议院共和党的规则确实允许考虑此类推迟，只要约翰逊能在信上获得五个签名，而他做到了，已争取到佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特、路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪、北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员特德·巴德和犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李的支持。
“我们首先需要消化上周发生的一切，并制定前进计划，”李在X平台上表示，“周二上午就举行领导层选举无异于本末倒置。”

其他未在信上签名的人，比如宾夕法尼亚州共和党参议员戴维·麦考密克和印第安纳州共和党参议员吉姆·班克斯，也同样希望在对领导层结构投票前先缓一缓。
“我们的党团需要坐下来坦诚讨论我们的不足、我们的主张，以及我们将为推举我们上任的工薪家庭做些什么，”班克斯在一份声明中表示。

不过一名共和党助手向福克斯新闻数字频道透露，共和党领导层早就在为选举后的会议做筹备，而图恩在共和党人中受欢迎的部分原因是他愿意听取议员的意见，而非“铁腕统治”。
推迟领导层选举的举措是否会演变成参议院共和党权力结构的洗牌仍不确定，即便参议院外的保守派人士呼吁图恩下台。
目前预计图恩将无竞争对手连任，且在党团内依然人气颇高。包括斯科特在内的可能挑战者已明确表示不会与他竞争。

“我不想再参选了，我已经参选过两次了，”斯科特在福克斯新闻《美国周六》节目中说道。
不过当被问及是否会支持图恩时，斯科特表示：“我们看看情况再说。”
“我们看看还有谁会参选，”他说，“我不知道会不会有其他人参选。”

Senate GOP rebels move to delay leadership vote, demand reckoning after midterm disaster
Ron Johnson secured signatures from Rick Scott, John Kennedy, Ted Budd, and Mike Lee to force a conference debate

Last week’s pummeling on Election Night has a cohort of Senate Republicans wanting to take stock as lawmakers return to Washington, D.C.
The Senate GOP is slated to hold its leadership elections Tuesday morning, where Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is expected to seek another term as top Republican.
But a small group led by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wants to delay the leadership elections to debrief after last week’s stunning losses and chart a path forward heading into the minority. Senate Democrats flipped the chamber by clinching 54 seats, and that number could grow depending on the outcomes in Mississippi and Alaska.

Johnson, in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital to Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., the conference chair for the Senate GOP, argued the election should be delayed “until we all have a chance to hear from leadership candidates as to what type of collaborative conference governing model we should adopt and what our strategy will be to counter the emboldened Democrats.”
“Tuesday’s result was a stunning defeat, and there are multiple reasons for it,” Johnson wrote. “We need to have serious discussions within our conference as to what we can do to improve the outcome in 2028.”
“Holding leadership elections without engaging in a robust discussion and evaluation of how those running for leadership intend to lead would be political malpractice,” he continued. “It is certainly not the way leadership elections should be conducted in the world’s greatest deliberative body.”

The Senate GOP’s rules do allow for the consideration of such a delay, as long as Johnson can get five signatures on his letter, and he did, securing Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., John Kennedy, R-La., Ted Budd, R-N.C., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, as his base of support.
“We first need to digest what happened last week and make plans to move forward,” Lee said on X. “Turning to leadership elections Tuesday morning would put the cart before the horse.”

Others who didn’t sign onto the letter, like Sens. David McCormick, R-Pa., and Jim Banks, R-Ind., similarly want to take a beat before casting their votes for the leadership structure.
“Our conference needs to sit down and have a frank discussion about where we fell short, what we stand for, and what we’re going to do for the working families who sent us here,” Banks said in a statement.
TREY GOWDY: THE MIDTERMS WERE A PAINFUL LESSON THAT REPUBLICANS CAN’T SKIP LEARNING

But Republican leadership had already planned for a meeting heading into the elections, and part of Thune’s popularity among Republicans is his willingness to take feedback from lawmakers rather than “rule with an iron fist,” a GOP aide told Fox News Digital.
Whether trying to slow down leadership elections turns into a shake-up in the Senate GOP’s power structure remains in the air, even with conservative voices outside the Senate calling for Thune to step aside.
So far, Thune is expected to run unopposed for another term and still remains popular among the conference. Possible challengers, like Scott, have already said they wouldn’t mount a bid against him.

“I don’t want to run again. I’ve run twice,” Scott said on Fox News’ “Saturday in America.”
When pressed if he would support Thune, however, Scott said, “We’ll see what happens.”
“We’ll see who else is going to run,” he said. “I don’t know if somebody else is going to run.”
