Scott has expressed his desire for a public endorsement from President-elect Trump, although reports suggest that Trump has been hesitant to weigh in on the Senate leadership race. Nonetheless, Scott remains hopeful that Trump will eventually lend his support to his bid.
In conclusion, Elon Musk’s endorsement of Rick Scott for Senate majority leader underscores the growing support for the Florida lawmaker within the Republican party. With key allies backing his candidacy, Scott remains a strong contender for the top Senate leadership position.
