U.S. Sen. Rick Scott is too busy living in the present to worry about the future, even the future of Senate leadership.
That’s one potential read of the Florida Senator yet again stopping short of a “yes” when asked during a national interview Wednesday if he would support Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell leading Senate Republicans beyond this year.
Scott, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, has not endorsed McConnell. He insists that while he has a “good working relationship” with McConnell, it’s simply too early to commit to supporting his return to the top spot in the GOP caucus should Republicans take back the Senate.
“He’ll decide if he’s going to continue to run. I assume he will,” Scott said on Fox News’ America Reports Wednesday.
“I’m focused on the November Senate races,” Scott added. “We have a lot of elections coming up. We have a presidential race coming up. We have a lot of other elections. I’ll focus on those when I get to them.”
“I’m focused on the Senate,” Scott added. “I have a good working relationship with Mitch McConnell. And I’m going to focus on getting the Senate back.”
Scott made similar comments at the National Conservatism Conference last weekend, telling reporters when asked “we’ll see what he wants to do” when asked about McConnell staying caucus leader.
The latest questions about harmony among Republican leadership come in the wake of the Kentucky Republican’s doubts that Republicans have more than a 50/50 shot at taking back the Senate due to questionable candidates in certain races.
Scott offered a series of defenses of the GOP Senate field in response.
“A lot of the Washington crowd, what they want to do is pick the candidates,” Scott said on “The Charlie Kirk Show” Sept. 6.
During a Sept. 1 spot on the Brian Kilmeade radio show, Scott claimed McConnell’s doubts amounted to a “shot at our candidates and the voters.”
The schism between Scott and McConnell is documented at this point. They had a public split over Scott’s “12-point plan to rescue America.” McConnell slammed the plan’s suggestion of review of federal entitlement programs as a nonstarter if he led Senate Republicans next year.
Former President Donald Trump has reportedly urged Scott to make a play for McConnell’s post, and Scott has not squashed the possibility of such a run, despite months of questions about it.

Republicans on every level are tearing each other’s eyeballs out to rise to the top and be the next grifter to shovel money to the rich. These hogs are sucking up so much that if they don’t print more…no one but them would have a dime. Meanwhile, they don’t want to pay taxes so God save us from these GOP psychos and their corporate overlords.

We will know soon enough if the Republicans will take the majority in the Senate and six months ago, I would have thought it was going to be inevitable. But now, there is hope! Some of these GOP election denier crazies that won primaries have little chance of winning general elections in November and even in Florida, I think Val has a good shot of kicking Rubio to the curb. The GOP is betting on the wrong horses… and then they stirred up women. Oh boy, I cant wait for November!

Nope, Biden has put us in a free fall and there is no chance on this green earth that Democrats prevail. Minorities and Independence will vote for Republicans, Democrats will cross over to vote for Republicans. Republicans will come out in full force to vote and disillusioned Democrats will stay home.

Since Reagan made abortion a religious and Republican Party issue instead of a family decision between a woman and her physician……. I don’t understand why Republicans who have fought for five decades to overturn Roe v Wade are not campaigning and championing their historic win with ads and candidate endorsements?
Here in Florida we never hear from .Scott or DeSantis on this historic win for the GOP! Only Marco Rubio has stepped into the arena demanding a restrictive NATIONAL ABORTION POLICY. Republicans need to step up and be proud of their disenfranchisement of 50% of the voting electorate. What Republicans should push next iis a firm policy abolishing all birth control. DeSantis can call it male FREEDUMB.

Republican priorities: “We have the CDC, who insists on using the term “pregnant people,” Rubio said scornfully.
With Desantis’s inflation and Republicans’ abortion rights bans, Marco is talking about other people’s gender! Not what Florida needs!
VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS!
