Brit Hume noted that Senator Rick Scott is perceived as a longshot for the Senate Republican leader position due to his controversial tenure as head of the NRSC.
Recent election results and criticism of his fundraising during the midterms have hindered Scott's support among Republican senators, with both Cornyn and Thune seen as stronger candidates.
Hume pointed out that Scott's close association with Trump world may backfire, as senators value their autonomy and resist being pressured into supporting any particular candidate.
Hume emphasized that while Scott has notable endorsements from figures like Elon Musk, the overall sentiment within the Senate leans away from him in favor of Cornyn or Thune.
