Conservative commentator Dan Bongino has endorsed Sen. Rick Scott, a Florida Republican, for Senate Majority Leader, as Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, who has held that position many times over the length of his career, will not be seeking reelection.
Florida’s Voice reports:
Proclaiming President-elect Donald Trump has a “mandate,” Florida GOP Sen. Rick Scott said this week he’s the man to become Senate majority leader to ram through the Republican agenda come January.
“We have been given a mandate by the American people to support President Trump’s agenda and Make Washington WORK again,” Scott said. “I’m running to be the next Senate Majority leader to do just that.”
“I’m gonna run. I’m gonna win,” he said. “My Republican colleagues [want] change. They know that Trump has a mandate. They want to be part of that mandate.” Scott also touted his “great working relationship” with Trump and with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. The Florida senator additionally vowed to treat all members as “equals.”
