Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) threw his support behind Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as the upper chamber’s GOP leader.
“I will be voting for my Florida colleague @ScottforFlorida to be our next Senate GOP leader,” Rubio posted on the social platform X.
The race is set between Scott, Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) and Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), who served as Senate GOP whip during President-elect Trump’s first two years in the White House.
Scott, whose bid to replace the outgoing Senate leader has been seen as a long shot, has gained momentum in recent days among some allies of Trump’s, after his victory helped boost GOP chances in the upper chamber.

I say great Scott!
I’m loving this mandate sht.
People are falling all over themselves to get in line.
Looks like they’re ready to vote. They’re in session on the 12th??
Wishy-washy Mitch will fight against the best pick and support the worst pick
Scott is a first class Republican.
It makes no difference what Trump’s allies think.
It makes no difference what the constituents think.
The only thing that matters is what the US Chamber of Commerce thinks.
If the USCOC doesn’t approve of a Majority Leader candidate, he won’t get elected.
There are trillions at stake.
Momentum is trending good and growing. Reaching escape velocity.
I hope more Senators follow suit quickly. If we can’t have Vance, Scott will do. There will be a MAGA revolt otherwise and I’m sure Trump knows that.
Why is HE the longshot. Republicans are trying so hard to burn the vixtory in record time.
If enough Senators publicly comes on in quick succession the squishes will start getting worried and suddenly the secret ballot isn’t so secret. We should be able to get Tennessee and Alabama Senators to publicly support!
I don’t trust Rubio or Scott I will only trust JD Vance.
Donald Trump is the best fighter we have ever had on our side. He simply doesn’t play games and isn’t afraid to use as much power and pressure as he has at his disposal.
Much better than Cornyn,,,,,,but then,,,,,who isn’t?
Wishy-washy Mitch will fight against the best pick and support the worst pick
><
It won’t matter what he wants.
DC is a swamp and many Republicans and Democrats are part of the uniparty. To them it doesn't matter who sits in the White House because they all share the spoils of war, meaning our treasury. And we get to pay for it all.

Scott would be the best of the three but Thune will likely get it.
