One of the most significant figures in the 2024 electoral cycle is behind Sen. Rick Scott in his second attempt at leading the Republican Senate Caucus.
This position is more impactful now than in 2022 due to Republicans holding a Congressional majority and Donald Trump being President-elect.
Elon Musk endorsed Scott Sunday afternoon, as a quote tweet to the Senator pledging to enact Trump’s agenda by approving recess appointments and spiking Joe Biden’s judicial appointments.
“100% agree. I will do whatever it takes to get your nominations through as quickly as possible,” Scott said.
Musk is also running a poll. At this writing, more than 65% of respondents back Scott for the position, with Senators John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota far behind.
Speaking of indications of where the people are, the Polymarket betting market is solidly behind Scott. A Yes share has rocketed to 74 cents, making him the prohibitive favorite.
The Senator laid out his positions Sunday on X.
“No more trillion-dollar omnibus bills. Fair and robust amendment process. Term limits for Leader Quick confirmations on Trump appointments These are immediate steps we can take to Make America Great Again — but we need to elect a Majority Leader who will make it happen,” Scott said.
Additionally, the Conservative Political Action Conference is on the side of the Senator, per Matt Schlapp.
“Scott understands the urgency of the moment … The most urgent reason to support Sen. Scott is he understands that the Senate needs to change and that DC establishment Republicans need to let a new breed of leaders take the helm,” read a tweet Sunday, which said Scott was best equipped to carry Trump’s agenda forward.
Trump has yet to endorse.

Sen. Cornyn votes with Democrats 46% of the time. Not only shouldn’t he be the Majority Leader, but shouldn’t be representing Texas either.

538 has Cornyn at 48% — along with Grassley and Thom Tillis — with a quarter of the votes surveyed for job appointments subject to Senate approval. In contrast, Rick Scott with only 13% of his votes aligned with Biden.
It’s a race to the bottom with MAGAs: Abject surrender to their tin god.

Elon Musk is NOT an ELECTED OFFICAL. Why is he even being quoted that he’s endorsed Scott. that’s like I’m saying as a person who is not an elected official saying I endorse Liz Cheney.
The articles that have been written lately have a lot to be desired in journalism, your not researching the truth & TRUTH MATTERS.

Voters have a right to know who their senators are voting for. The congress should be transparent.

The McConnell we had could have been done by a democrat.
Maybe better.

Cornyn and Thune—baby McTurtles. Send them all back to their log holes.

The U. S. escaped attempted destruction and conversion to totalitarian socialism. McConnell, Thune and Cornyn are not America first Senators but good ole boys protecting their own turf and financial interest. Scott is the only sensible choice from these three senators.

It is critically important that McConnell’s acolytes Thune and Cornyn are defeated. Rick Scott then needs to identify Harriet Hageman style Republicans to rid the Senate of these swamp creatures once and for all. There is no reason for Texas and South Dakota to have progressives like these two, in deep MAGA states, anywhere near the US Senate. The McConnell era must end now with a giant bang going off like an Elon Musk rocket, oh I think it already did! Thanks Elon!!!

Rick Scott wants to cut social security and Medicare, which are about 30% of the 2024 government budget of $6.7T. Musk wants to cut $2T out of the budget which will require cutting Medicare and social security. They are aligned. Buckle up retirees.
