McConnell told Special Report presenter Bret Baier that the contestants could “finish this.”
A partial transcript is as follows:
BYER: Senator, some of your most trusted aides are missing. Rob Portman, Pat Toomey, Richard Burr. Like I said you can look up, JD Vance, Mehmet Oz, Ted Budd.
In Arizona, Missouri, there are Republicans loyal to Trump like Eric Schmitt, who just won the Blake Masters. And some of these candidates refuse to say on the trail that they will support you as a leader.
Is this the new face of the fictional Republican Party? And are you the one to run the Senate?
McConnell: Yes.
Well, look at it like this. I was selected unopposed eight times. If I have a competitor, I will not own this work. And the election of the leader is always held every two years. If anyone wants to challenge me, go for it.
BAYER: If you didn’t get the majority, would you still be in management?
McConnell: Me.
