With Republicans poised to win control of the U.S. House of Representatives, and possibly the U.S. Senate, could Republicans winning control of the Senate usher in Florida Senator Rick Scott as the new Senate Majority Leader?
Former Senate Majority Leader and current Minority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, is considered persona non grata among most voting Americans, and many Conservative Senators in Washington for his open opposition of former President Donald Trump.
President Trump has been at odds with Sen. McConnell since the 2020 Presidential Election, and after McConnell all but blamed Trump for inciting the January 6 Capitol Riot, the gloves came off.
McConnell is on record of saying that Trump was “practically and morally responsible” for the Capitol riot.
“The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president,” said McConnell.
Just because McConnell is the current Minority Leader in the Senate, it does not guarantee he walks in as Majority Leader.
Remember, while he was Majority Leader during the Trump administration, Republicans accused McConnell of not doing enough to support the America First agenda Trump championed as president.
But even though McConnell has recently claimed that he as the votes to become Majority Leader again, there is a quiet groundswell of support for Scott to lead Senate Republicans.
Scott is a staunch ally of Trump, and the former president has previously called for McConnell to be challenged and ultimately replaced.
For those of you living under a rock back in 2019, then-Senate Minority Leader McConnell worked feverishly to defeat a young, conservative political newcomer named Marco Rubio in favor of then-Republican Governor Charlie Crist.

NRSC. News articles.
Judicial appointments proposed and approved by China Cocaine Mitch!
Trump was handicapped by this traitor and his cohorts.
Amen!
One good deed does not excuse his blatant screw-over of the American people. Mitch is a world class self serving POS RINO. These b-turds throw in a good deed for every 50 screw overs they hand us! Pox on these idiots!
Sad way to live.
If Scott’s work results in an R senate majority then he has earned the position. McConnell has blocked many of the things that Scott has tried to accomplish, and that alone should cost Mcconnell the leadership.
Surely hope it was a mistype because it was 2010! Either a mistype or just another “fib” from a “journalist”!
If you think it's sad to live having commonsense, being security conscious, and taking precautions to prevent yourself, and your family from becoming a victim, then I'd say that in this day and age, you're the delusional one.
Wow.. you are locked and loaded for attack. Sad in as sad to live without trust. That is truly sad and someone obviously destroyed that for you. That is sad because it destroys your personal peace.
I have plenty of personal peace everyday, and have for the past 20 years that I’ve been retired. I’m the last one of my family, and my only goal now, is to not outlive my sons. I hope you can achieve some of the personal peace that God has been kind enough to grant me.
