Would Joe Donnelly Vote to Make Harry Reid the Majority Leader or Not?
The Congressman can't make up his mind!
Indianapolis (October 11, 2012) – The Mourdock campaign today pointed out again that Joe Donnelly keeps changing his response for whom he would vote as Majority Leader if elected.
“It’s really not a difficult question, but Joe Donnelly and his staff can’t seem to give a straight answer as to whether or not he would vote to make Harry Reid the Majority Leader if elected to the U.S. Senate,” stated Mourdock spokesperson Christopher Conner.

“He [Donnelly] deflected a question from a national reporter on whether he would vote for Reid to be majority leader if Democrats retain control of the Senate.
“’I don’t know who the candidate’s (sic) are going to be,’ he said. ‘I’m not smart enough to know that. My focus is on Indiana. If I win, then I’ll take a look at (majority leader).”

“Since then, Donnelly's spokeswoman Elizabeth Shappell clarified he [Donnelly] would, indeed, vote for the Democratic leader to become Senate majority leader.”

“…Donnelly left open the possibility of voting for a Republican to lead the chamber.
“ 'Asked if he [Donnelly] would support Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for majority leader, he said ‘I don't know who I'd support.’ Asked again if he would consider voting for any Republican to lead the chamber he said ‘I'd consider voting for the best person.’”
“But his support for a Republican leader seems highly unlikely, based on Senate rules that would effectively require Donnelly to caucus with Republicans in order to support a potential Republican majority leader.”
