If Rick Scott is looking for any favors from Mitch McConnell anytime soon, he shouldn't hold his breath. (via MaddowBlog)
For nearly two years, former President Donald Trump has demanded Senate Republicans dump Mitch McConnell as their leader but has never offered an alternative. This week, one was set to emerge: the man in charge of the Senate Republican campaign arm who has been feuding with McConnell for much of the year., which has not been independently verified by MSNBC or NBC News, Scott had gone so far as to make an announcement video declaring his intentions.
So what happened? According to the article, Scott changed his mind on Wednesday morning — right around the time the political world came to realize that Republicans weren’t likely to take control of the chamber. Let’s not forget that Scott appeared to have a larger plan in mind. The Floridian ran unopposed last year in the race to chair the National Republican Senatorial Committee — a position that gave Scott an opportunity to recruit like-minded candidates, make connections with party donors, and create new allies. If the GOP flipped partisan control of the chamber — an outcome that the political world saw as likely — Scott would be the hero who delivered on the party’s goal.
That is, until this week, when we came to realize that Scott had apparently failed, and it was time to abandon the plan to run for party leader. If the Floridian is looking for any favors from McConnell over the next couple of years, he probably shouldn’t get his hopes up.
