A Republican senator who recently won reelection said that the GOP needs to wait until the Senate runoff election in Georgia is completed before leadership elections are held.

“The last two years we had a number of our colleagues join Democrats in spending like drunken sailors,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Fox News on Sunday. “We need to have thorough discussions internally. And as I talked to my colleagues before I left town, if I survived reelection, we need a different governing model for our conference that is more business-like.”
