Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who secured a second term in office, is positioning himself as a strong supporter of President-elect Donald Trump in the upcoming Senate GOP leader's race. This move is aimed at setting him apart from his competitors, Senate GOP Whip John Thune and Sen. John Cornyn, in the upcoming secret-ballot election.
Scott's spokesperson, McKinley Lewis, emphasized Scott's recent victory in Florida and highlighted the mandate received by President-elect Trump from the American people. Lewis stated that Scott aims to bring Florida's successful conservative track record to Washington and work closely with President Trump to implement his agenda and drive significant change in the country.
The leadership election, where Scott will vie for the Senate GOP leader position, is scheduled to take place on November 13. Scott's strategy of aligning himself as a 'true ally' of President Trump underscores his commitment to advancing the Trump agenda and reshaping the nation's trajectory.
