Several Senate Republicans call for delaying party leadership election

McCormick of Pennsylvania, are calling for a delay to that vote. They say the party needs time to discuss what went wrong and how to improve before choosing new leaders. The delay could potentially allow challenges to the current frontrunner, John Thune.
