Weeks leading up to the election, President-elect Trump privately dismissed Sen. Rick Scott's leadership bid as 'not serious.' This comes amid Trump allies rallying support for potential new Senate GOP leadership after their victory.
Despite his previous relationship with Trump, Scott is attempting to gather public backing, facilitated by supporters like Sen. Ron Johnson and Laura Loomer, who are advocating for his leadership.
Trump's camp is pushing back against reports of his influence in the leadership race, with a senior official asserting he hasn't 'weighed in' on the matter.
The race for Senate leadership appears to be narrowing between Sens. John Thune and John Cornyn, where Thune is viewed as the frontrunner.
