Rick Scott's Senate Bid Gains Traction Amid GOP Leadership Tensions
Senator Rick Scott has gained two more public endorsements for his bid to become the Senate GOP leader, bringing his total to seven, as senators discussed future leadership directions. Despite being considered a long-shot candidate, Scott's support includes influential MAGA voices and fellow senators like Mike Lee and Marsha Blackburn. The endorsements highlight a desire for reform in Senate leadership, though public support may not directly translate to votes in the secret ballot election. Mitch McConnell, the current leader, did not attend the meeting, opting instead for an AEI dinner.
