Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was reportedly "furious" when Sen. Rick Scott challenged his re-election as leader in 2022.
"He's angry about it because since he's been leader he's always had command and control of the conversation during a midterm, and this changed that," former McConnell Chief of Staff Josh Holmes said in the biography.

The leader said at the time, according to the book, "I don't think Rick makes a very good victim." Follow Julia's reporting on X at @JuliaaJohnson_ and send tips to Julia.Johnson@fox.com.
