Fox News
Top House and Senate GOP leaders are in for a long week amid discontent from their right flanks and former President Donald Trump's Tuesday "announcement."
On the Senate side, some conservative members are calling to delay GOP leadership elections, currently scheduled for Wednesday. Haris Alic is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering Congress.
"The Senate GOP leadership vote next week should be postponed," Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tweeted. "First we need to make sure that those who want to lead us are genuinely committed to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans (of every background) who gave us big wins in states like #Florida."
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., Josh Hawley, R-Mo., all sent similar tweets Friday. National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chair Rick Scott, R-Fla., also called for the elections to be delayed on "Sunday Morning Futures."
