INSIDE THE ROOM: Thune tussled with Ron Johnson at one point ahead of the vote on delaying the leadership elections. Thune interjected to suggest there wasn’t anything he could have done differently during the campaign — “I defy you all to name something I could have done differently,” Thune said, per sources in the room Thune also said “tell me what I should have done differently” that would have mitigated the GOP losses

.@RonJohnsonWI still unsure if he’s getting a vote on his proposal to delay Republican leadership elections. “I’m not sure we need one. We have to complete the discussion and see what leadership’s reaction is. Whether they decide on their own [ro delay] or whether the conference decides to go forward with a vote and do a motion.”
