Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is playing up his feud with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as he vies to replace him as GOP leader, Politico reports.
Scott blamed McConnell for Senate Republicans’ losses in the 2022 midterms — even though Scott headed up the Senate GOP campaign arm — and accused McConnell of subsequently attempting to hurt his fundraising.
Said Scott: “He told people not to give me money.”
