Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., the head of the Senate GOP's campaign arm, on Tuesday sent a letter to Senate Republicans launching a challenge to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to lead the caucus next term.
"I believe it's time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past," wrote Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "We must start saying what we are for, not just what we are against. I do not believe we can simply continue to say the Democrats are radical, which they are. Republican voters expect and deserve to know our plan to promote and advance conservative values. We need to listen to their calls for action and start governing in Washington like we campaign back at home."
