An adviser to former President Donald Trump publicly urged Senate Republicans to consider alternatives to Majority Leader John Thune, according to The Hill.

Alex Bruesewitz expressed dissatisfaction with Thune's leadership after the GOP experienced significant losses in the midterm elections. He accused the party of "rewarding failure" by continuing to support Thune.

Bruesewitz suggested that Thune is out of touch with Republican voters' interests and implied that the party should explore other leadership options.

The call for change highlights internal debates within the Senate GOP about the direction and leadership of the party following recent electoral results.
