Senator Rick Scott of Florida, fresh off his re-election win, is mounting a campaign to become the next Senate Majority Leader, aiming to advance President Trump's agenda in the Senate. He declared, “I’ll be the next majority leader and we’re going to get Trump’s agenda accomplished.” Scott has garnered endorsements from prominent conservatives and lawmakers, including media personality Tucker Carlson, Senators Rand Paul, Bill Hagerty, and Ron Johnson, as well as political activists Scott Presler and Charlie Kirk. With growing grassroots momentum, supporters view him as the 'MAGA choice' over other candidates like John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota. Calls are intensifying for Republican senators to publicly endorse Scott, emphasizing his strong support for President Trump and alignment with the party's base.
