Florida GOP SenRickScott charts contrarian path to future political endeavors
He’s united Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Joe Biden in opposition to his agenda.
Before winning Florida's governorship in 2010, Scott was a healthcare executive. He's now one of the Senate's wealthier members and has often talked about his business background and how government should run similarly. “I hope they do,” Scott said defiantly at a Heritage Foundation event in late March, weeks after he penned an op-ed responding to criticism of his plan that was not-so-subtly titled “Why I’m Defying Beltway Cowardice.”
“I think if you follow his career closely, when he spent eight years as governor of Florida, he was never the favorite of folks in Tallahassee,” Hartline told the Washington Examiner. Grant Reeher, a political science professor at Syracuse University, said Scott’s multitasking in the role is less uncommon in today’s political landscape.
But if Scott’s ambitions are indeed presidential, his toughest opponent — beyond former President Donald Trump, whose 2024 intentions remain unknown — could be someone close to home.
