Rubio Endorses Scott for GOP Senate Leadership

Senator Marco Rubio has endorsed fellow Floridian Senator Rick Scott to succeed Mitch McConnell as the GOP Senate leader. The leadership race includes Scott, John Thune, and John Cornyn. Scott's candidacy, initially considered a long shot, has gained traction among Trump allies. Meanwhile, Thune has urged Trump to remain neutral in the race, and has received support from Senator Mike Rounds. National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Steve Daines has indicated support for Thune, though he plans to make a formal statement post-election.
