It seems the movement is growing to make J.D. Vance the Senate Majority Leader. Obviously, the Vice President is always the President of the Senate and the tie breaker. The Constitution also allows for the Vice President to be the Senate Majority Leader and some influential Republicans think Vance would be perfect for the position.
Across the country the movement calling on Republican senators to elect @JDVance the senate majority leader is growing
Many RINOs secretly worry that JD’s bold leadership would ruin them, and are trying to prevent JD from becoming the Senate Majority Leader
WE NEED JD VANCE!

I asked @BasedMikeLee and this is what he said. Sounds like he de facto can be the leader of the Republicans in the Senate it’s a question of where he spends his time: https://t.co/ZhAIC4Qp8G

We have patriots like @BasedMikeLee supporting @JDVance leading the Senate Republicans!
It’s time to be BOLD
President Trump needs all hands on deck, and JD Vance is the only person who can execute his plan in the senate! https://t.co/rimh8mRDB4

Obviously, no one will know better what Donald Trump is thinking than his Vice President. It takes one person out of the ‘circle of trust’ and maybe this is the best way to ensure stuff gets done.
JD Vance
The Vice President is already the President of the Senate
The constitution says the VP can also be Senate Majority Leader
No more compromises
Elections have consequences. This must be a consequential victory.

It’s so America!
This.
This is the only way to ensure the Trump agenda is implemented and there’s no obstruction.
Enough capitulation. We either act now or we don’t get a second chance.

Trump was given a mandate this election. He won the popular vote. He won the Electoral College. Republicans won the House and the Senate. There isn’t much more the voters could do to say they want Trump and his policies. It’s time to get serious about pushing them through.
I’m afraid the Constitution doesn’t say that.
You might make the argument that it doesn’t say that he can’t, but the position itself was not formalized until the 19th and 20th centuries.
Even John Adam’s role in the Senate, as our nation’s first VP, didn’t stray much beyond… pic.twitter.com/21PJCcoIR9

To be fair, some do not agree the Constitution allows this.
This is just a fringe idea meant to syphon support away from Scott and ensure a Thune leadership.
JD Vance supports Scott. JD Vance will be an active VP and does not want to be weighed down with senate politics. He needs to think about being ready to be president in 2028.

Others see its as an idea meant to keep Rick Scott from the role and hand it to Senator Thune.

Stay tuned to what may be a historical breaking of the norms.
