Story summary

Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has obtained the necessary five signatures from colleagues to request a postponement of next week’s scheduled election for Senate Republican leadership positions, following significant losses in the midterms where Republicans lost at least seven seats in the upper chamber. Johnson argues that it is "political malpractice" to proceed with these elections so soon after their electoral defeats, and he claims that a new meeting could be called based on Senate rules if five or more colleagues request it in writing. The original scheduled vote for the leadership team remains set for next Tuesday morning.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
