WASHINGTON, D.C. — MAGA world is not happy about the replacement for Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as the Republican leader in the Senate, but at least one outgoing Democrat is breathing a sigh of relief.
Raw Story asked Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) whether Sen. John Thune (R-SD) — who was selected to become majority leader of the Senate Wednesday — was someone Democrats could work with.
She expressed her approval of the new GOP pick.
Speaking to Raw Story just after the vote, Stabenow said that Thune would "be a good leader for the Republicans" because "he has good relationships across the aisle" with Democrats.
"We worked together on the Agriculture Committee," she recalled.
