Senator Rick Scott will challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for control of GOP leadership in the upper chamber, a move that comes days after Mr McConnell’s caucus failed to unseat a 50-vote Democratic majority in the midterm elections.
Mr McConnell held a press conference on Tuesday after a three-hour GOP conference meeting during which Mr Scott unloaded on the minority leader for what he depicted as a failure of leadership and a lack of direction for the caucus.
