After 2 rounds of voting, Senate Republicans elected John Thune as their leader, replacing Sen. Mitch McConnell. What do you think of this choice?
From Fox News. Senate Minority Whip John Thune will be the new Republican Senate leader and the majority leader of the upper chamber in the new Congress.
Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.
In January, he will succeed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is the longest-serving party leader in Senate history.
“I am extremely honored to have earned the support of my colleagues to lead the Senate in the 119th Congress, and I am beyond proud of the work we have done to secure our majority and the White House,” Thune said in a statement. “This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today.”
Sources told Fox News Digital that no candidate reached a majority during the first secret ballot in the old Senate chamber on Wednesday morning. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., received the least amount of votes and was knocked out of the race. The second secret ballot was between only Thune and Cornyn. …
Thune received 29 votes and Cornyn got 24 on the second ballot, according to Thune’s office. …
Joining Thune in leadership are Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., as assistant majority leader; Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., as Repulican conference chair; Sen. Shelly Moore Capito, R-W.Va., as Republican Policy Committee chair; Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., as Republican conference vice chair, and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., as National Republican Senatorial Committee chair. …
The new leader will assume the role in January.

I will trust in God to guide senator Thine to get God’s plan started quickly while satan is still reeling from the shock of the election. I pray that senator Thune will ask for God’s guidance and use that guidance to achieve God’s will for us. Pray for all in government to accept God’s will and to serve we the people in a righteous manner. Be safe be kind and trust in God.
🙏😇🙏❤️
Father, I lift up Senator Thune to you. I ask that you guide him by your Holy Spirit concerning the affairs of this nation. I pray that you will put a heavy desire in his heart to seek you for guidance, not only as a leader in the senate, but in all areas of his life where he has the roll of a leader. I also pray for protection over his family as well as himself and that he walks in Devine health. In the name of Jesus, I thank you Father for hearing my prayer and granting the petitions that I asked of you.
I Samuel 16:7
“This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today.” Lord please hold these senators to this declaration and expose and remove every one that defies Your will and the will of the American people.
HELP US JESUS!!!
We prayed Gods will in HIS CHOICE , so I trust God …He is in Control…Amen! Use senator John Thiune for Your Glory Lord….
THIS IS THE SPIKE IN THE OINTMENT, THE CORRUPTED PART OF THE GOP HAS INSINUATED THEMSELVES INTO POWER BY ELECTING THUNE, A RINO, AS PARTY BOSS. HIS JOB IS TOMTHWART PRESIDENT TRUMPON BEHALF OD THE ELITES WHO WANT US DEAD AND NO CONSTITUTION FOR US. THEY ARE ENEMIES OF AMERICA,.
DEAR LORD ELIMINATE THE DESIRE TO BETRAY AMERICA IN ALL OUR POLITICIANS.
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Not happy about this choice but God has allowed him to succeed. I pray that his opposition to our President elect in the past will not be a hindrance in getting the work done to reverse the course of our country. The leadership in the Senate has been questionable in the past several years but apparently the majority of the Senators think that staying that course is fine. Again – God is in control and I will trust in Him!
Not pleased. Why elect a man whose history opposed President Trump? His words may say something different now but how many politicians fork out words to get what they want. It is action that will tell the real story.. Now we sit back and watch..
“Rick Scott was the only candidate who is truly for our nation.” I disagree 100%; I know John Thune to be a man of faith and I believe he has the confidence of his fellow senators more than Scott would ever have. I supported Thune, when he beat Daschel.
They are both Godly men, but I trust Thune the most.
Father God, we ask that the fear of You would fall upon this man…..he has not supported President Trump in the past, and only with your divine intervention will he support President Trump, and the American people, going forward. We cannot have another McConnell lackey leading the senate – God have mercy! We also pray that Matt Gaetz, and Trump’s other choices, will be confirmed. Senator’s Murkowski and Collins have already said they will NOT confirm Gaetz. Yet they confirmed Garland. These people are not Republicans. And we are still struggling with the loss of 4 senate seats by mysterious means – in MI, WI, AZ, and NV. Late night ballot dumps once again taking away the will of the people!
Father God, keep us on our knees……we have two years to do the following:
Turn this country back to YOU
FIX THE ELECTION CHEATING, WHICH IS MASSIVE. (I encourage everyone to watch “Selection Code” and “Set My People Free”)
Close the Border.
We have two short years to get these things done, and will have to fight in prayer every step of the way.
Lord God, please help us and guide us!
In Jesus’ name,
Amen!
I am 100 % against this move. Rick Scott was the only candidate who is truly for our nation. If this man tries to impede the MAGA movement and the progress that we are praying for and counting on, I hope he will be removed asap.
Not happy with this one. He will resist all that Trump try’s to do. Must pray church for a change of heart and salvation.
Was this influence from Mitch who is establishment helping any good old pal?Hope not!
Lord, I am so glad that McConnell is stepping down as the Majority Leader in the Senate. His time has come and gone. I am glad that he is stepping aside. Please use Sen. John Thune in a way that will be a strong and uplifting experience for all Americans. Thank you Jesus.
Lord give the wisdom to these leader to choose You every day before makes decisions for our Republic. We asking in Jesus Name Amen.
Lord, I have heard negative things about this man — about him leaning toward doing the will of the old guard republicans. But, Lord, I cannot help but believe that a you have touched his heart too. He sounds excited about all You’re doing, so Lord, please give him a willing heart to be able to allow You to lead him to the center of Your will for his life: for his area of authority, for our country, & for Israel! Please please let his focus be on confirming Trump’s appointees QUICKLY, in Jesus’ name! Amen!
I went to learn more about Senator Thune, so that I could better pray for him. I was pleased that he went to Biola University in CA. Their statement says that all students profess to be Christians. We know that profession isn’t everything; but that is a great start. I am praying God’s Hand upon this man to be the man God has called him to be, as he leads in the Senate. I pray the LORD burn out anything in his life, thinking, and heart that is NOT the Mind of Christ and use him for God’s Glory in the Senate. God can use him greatly in the Senate because the Old Republicans are comfortable with him, and God can put a new anointing on him if necessary to use him. God works in many mysterious ways at times; and not always according to our natural thinking. THANK YOU, JESUS !!. We ask YOU to be in charge of our new Senate.
