Donald Trump may be “excited” about U.S. Sen. Rick Scott pursuing leadership of the Republican Caucus. But that good feeling doesn’t necessarily mean the former President and presumptive GOP presidential nominee will weigh in to boost the chances of Florida’s junior Senator in his second bid for the top spot.
“I don’t know. I talked to him yesterday. I’ve known him for a long time. I actually knew him before I ran for Governor. He said he was excited that I got into the race,” Scott told Hugh Hewitt about a potential endorsement.
“We’ll see what happens. I don’t know if he’ll do that or not.”
Scott, who got 10 votes in his challenge to Mitch McConnell in 2022’s leadership fight, isn’t hazarding a guess as to how much support he has this time around.
“I’m optimistic but look, everybody’s going to wait and decide when the election happens,” Scott said.
Scott announced his bid for leadership on Wednesday, tethering himself to Trump then too but stopping short of implying an endorsement during an interview on the Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle.”
While Trump isn’t endorsing anyone at this point, a former presidential candidate who made a bid for the MAGA faithful while in the race is backing Scott.
“Rick Scott is *BY FAR* the best choice among those running for Senate Republican Leader. He successfully led a big business & a big state, there’s no doubt he can do this job. He also possesses a very rare quality in DC: caring about what *voters* actually want. I endorse him,” posted Vivek Ramaswamy to social media on Wednesday.

Working part-time, I earn more than $13,000 per month. I kept hearing how much money people could make online, so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true, and it completely altered my life… This is what I do; you can learn more about it by visiting the website listed below.

Hey Rick, we still remember when your leadership plan included sunsetting Social Security and Medicare. What’s left of your party shut that down fast, but we all know it’s your ultimate goal.

Donald Trump is consuming the money in the GOP coffers and could care less about anyone down ballot. It is and always has been, all about him, the epitome of narcissism.

“When you’re Donald Trump, the Republican party lets you do it. You can grab them by the coffers…”
