Senate Republicans will not choose their new leader until a secret ballot on Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., but the candidates will each make their case to the entire conference during a closed-door forum Tuesday night.

Hosted by Steering Committee Chairman Mike Lee (R-UT) at 6 p.m. in the Lyndon Baines Johnson Room of the United States Capitol, the forum will allow the candidates to make their case directly to their Senate colleagues, and it will allow other senators to explain to the conference who they are voting for and why.
