Rick Scott entered the Republican Senate leadership election on Wednesday, setting the stage for a potentially crowded race.
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., officially announced his bid for Republican leader in the next Senate on Wednesday, setting the stage for a crowded race. 'I have decided to run for Senate Republican leader because I believe now is a moment we need dramatic change,' he wrote in a letter to fellow Senate Republicans. The Florida Republican joins both Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., and Sen.
' According to Scott, the body 'far too often passes legislation that is supported by 100% of the Democrats, and only a quarter of our Republican Conference.' He claimed this has served to unite Democrats, while simultaneously dividing the Republican senators.
