A week after Florida Sen. Rick Scott successfully defended his seat against Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, the 71-year-old former governor has now shifted his ambition to another high-profile position: Senate Majority Leader. And for that, he is seeking to get president-elect Donald Trump's endorsement.
After earning a second term in the U.S. Senate by winning over 55% of the votes, Scott is now eyeing for the seat currently held by Chuck Schumer (D-NY) since 2021, when Vice President Kamala Harris' tie-breaking vote established a Democratic majority in the upper chamber of Congress.
