Sen. Rick Scott is running for re-election, and he’s missing no opportunities to be a staunch surrogate of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
During an appearance on Wednesday’s “Ingraham Angle,” Florida’s junior Senator spoke about Nikki Haley’s ineffectual campaign.
“He’s easily going to win the Primary. I don’t know why she’s staying in the race,” Scott said.
Scott also suggested that Trump not even mention his competition, the former Governor of South Carolina, ahead of the Primary in her home state.
“Trump shouldn’t even mention her name going forward. I wouldn’t even talk about her.”
Trump and Scott have shared an enduring political affinity for years, exchanging mutual endorsements well ahead of the 2024 elections.
The Senator’s endorsement of Trump, offered in December while Ron DeSantis was still an active candidate for the nomination, vexed the sitting Governor, who claimed it was an attempt to “short circuit” voters.

Does ANYONE outside of Florida care what Scott thinks or says?
Do many inside of Florida?

Well he was a two term Governor in Florida and won a US Senate seat so the answer to your question would be yes.

Andrew Gillum found not guilty on one charge and hung jury on the others — leading the prosecutor to hang it up. Let’s see if DJT can do as well.

Two-term governor in Florida is a low threshold. Look who we have now. Nikki’s got more cojones than this guy could even imagine.

True. Dee and the others — except for NJ Christie — have ducked DJT. Haley has found the Donald’s ego, which is bigger than his stomach and his butt together .

Nikki needs to stay in.
The possibility of a Trump tumble is just too tempting to ignore.

It is possible until Feb. 18 — one month before the election — to change one’s party affiliation and vote in the MAGA primary in Florida.
Takes 5 minutes or less to change online. DJT wants some chaos, let’s give it to him!
The namby pamby can switch their affiliation back the day after the election but, if you continue as a MAGA, your email will be chock full of right-wing entreaties for $$$$$ plus the latest online baloney — from DJT himself and the entire cast of clowns.

The reason Nikki is staying in the race is because about 70%of Americans don’t want a Biden-Trump rematch, in other words, two grumpy old men. One is a disaster, the other is a disaster-in-the-making. One can’t remember his lines and the other’s lines are full of nasty names for any who dare oppose him. One is a hero wannabe, one is a dictator wannabe. Stay in, don’t quit Nikki, we the American people want to retire those two old buzzards to where the can duel it out without any cameras around. Ha ha ha! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠

Somebody is jealous that the woman is better liked than he is. Rick fails to understand that voters do not want him to abolish their Social Security and Medicare.

So the takeaway I’m getting here is that Rick Scott supports rapists?
Not surprised. He is a creepy MF’er.

Trump will just confuse Haley with Pelosi if he mentions her anyway.
