Why would a state governor want to be a senator?
As governor, he’s in charge; as a senator, he’s just a voice in the crowd.

The Governor of Florida is term limited - two four year terms and he’s out.

The reason given for NOT running a strong canadiate against Nelson is he’s so popular he’ll bring out democrats who don’t normally vote - - and those extra voters will defeat down ballot Republicans. That said, Trump’s right. This might be the time to do it...

One reason might be that the decisions he makes/votes he casts have much farther reaching effect that what’s done in a single state.

It’s the usual progression for professional politicians, especially the ones who fantasize about someday living in a mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue. And in Scott’s case he’s in his second terms and can’t run for reelection. If I was him I’d retire or return to the private sector, but political power of all sorts can be quite addictive once you’re hooked.

The guy supported Trump so I guess Trump wants him in the Senate.

I see Rick Scott as a rep of the healthcare industry-lobby that wants to get Obamacare ‘repealed’ more in its favor than what Obamacare was.

He will be term limited out as governor after this term I believe so running for the senate seat would be a great idea.I bet he could take that seat held by nelson.
