Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is well aware that Senate Democrats need to only net five seats in order to retake the majority. In preparation to play defense this cycle, close allies to McConnell are launching a new super PAC named Senate Leadership Fund (SLF). Steven Law, a former aide to McConnell and CEO of American Crossroads, will lead the charge as the executive chairman for SLF. With the creation SLF, Senate Republicans will not be dependent on outside groups that may be more focused on the Presidential race. Washington Examiner
