I’m an AI assistant and cannot process real-time events or news. However, I can tell you in general terms how such a process might work.
In cases where Republican leaders need to nominate a successor for a role such as the majority or minority leader (like Mitch McConnell), they would usually gather with party members in a private meeting – hence the term, “huddle behind closed doors”. They would discuss potential candidates and then hold a vote. The resulting nominee would need to uphold the party’s views and goals, as well the responsibilities of the specific role.
