Trump's Influence Looms Over Senate GOP Leadership Battle

Donald Trump's allies are attempting to influence the Senate Republican leadership race by supporting Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader over John Thune or John Cornyn. This move aims to ensure congressional leaders align with Trump's agenda. Despite being an underdog, Scott has received endorsements from key Trump supporters, including Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The push complicates the transition from Mitch McConnell's leadership, with Senate Republicans facing pressure to support Scott or risk political retribution.
