Rick Scott announces plan to unseat Mitch McConnell as the top Republican in the U.S. Senate
Fox News ^ | Nov 15 | By Tyler Olson | Fox News

Sen. Rick Scott is running to unseat Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as the top Republican in the Senate, he announced in a note to GOP colleagues Tuesday first obtained by Fox News Digital.

Scott, R-Fla., the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), has been at odds with McConnell. R-Ky., for most of this year over political strategy. Scott is also more closely aligned with former President Donald Trump, who has called for McConnell to be removed as Senate Republican leader.

"I’m writing to you today because I believe it’s time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past. We must start saying what we are for, not just what we are against," Scott said in a letter to GOP colleagues. "I do not believe we can simply continue to say the Democrats are radical, which they are. Republican voters expect and deserve to know our plan to promote and advance conservative values. "

Scott added: "For those who want to get serious about ending reckless government spending and the devastating inflation it has caused, finally take action to protect Social Security and Medicare and preserve the promise of these programs for our children and grandchildren, hold government accountable from the FBI to the IRS, truly combat the extreme danger posed by Communist China and refocus our military on lethal defense instead of woke nonsense, I ask for your support in changing the direction of the Senate and rescuing America from the dangerous path Democrats have set it on."

There’s a reason these guys in the Swamp were there before Nancy Pelosi’s first plastic surgery.

The system is setup to protect those in Power.

Yes. It's set up to reward deceit and incompetence.

Mumbles deserves to get unseated. Newt tonight blasted him with both barrels and laid the loss of the Senate on his feet.
He said he has a PAC designed to keep McConnel in the leaders role and deserving candidates take a back seat to that.

“Sounds a lot better to me” Perhaps. Perhaps not,
McConnel sabotaged several republican Senate Candidates only because they were supporters of President Trump.
McConnel decided he would rather the Dems succeed than Trump supporters.
This was OBVIOUS months ago. Not one Senator came out MONTHS ago a said a damned thing against McConnel’s sabotage. Cruz came out yesterday Too late. Scott comes out today. Again, too late. Politicians all. Fingers in the wind.
This is the reason President Trump is so well-liked. No finger in the wind BS. The man tells you exactly what he believes. Pulls no punches. Trump is, this is me. This is who I am. This is what I believe.
DC Swamp creatures hate him for that characteristic.

The national party taking sides in primaries was a stupid waste of scarce resources.

McConnell needs to be reprimanded for his failure during the 2022 election and especially for his crusade against MAGA candidates.

Sen. Scott doesn’t stand a chance even with Trump’s endorsement.
