Senator Rick Scott announced his bid to unseat Mitch McConnell as Senate Minority Leader.
“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,” Fox News reports.
Scott confirmed his intentions on Tuesday during a closed-door GOP lunch.
“The status quo is broken and big change is needed. It’s time for new leadership in the Senate that unites Republicans to advance a bold conservative agenda,” Scott tweeted.
