Scott touts 'deal guy' background in bid for Senate Majority Leader
Fox News
Florida Sen. Rick Scott said on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that his experience in business would make him an ideal candidate to lead Republicans in the Senate.
The comments come as Scott finds himself in a three-way race to become the GOP Senate leader, battling fellow Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota for the job held by Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., since 2007. Michael Lee is a writer for Fox News. Prior to joining Fox News, Michael worked for the Washington Examiner, Bongino.com, and Unbiased America. He has covered politics for more than eight years.
Scott, whose bid for the position is seen as a long shot by some observers, has earned the endorsement of Republican Sens. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida.
"I will be voting for my Florida colleague @ScottforFlorida to be our next Senate GOP leader," Rubio said on X on Sunday.
