Musk Backs Rick Scott For Senate Majority Leader

November 11, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

The Insider reports:

Elon Musk is backing Sen. Rick Scott of Florida to lead the GOP in the Senate. “Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader!” Musk wrote in an X post on Sunday, a few hours after he posted a poll asking who should take up the position.

When this article went live Monday, 1,088,220 votes were registered on Musk’s poll. Scott took 65.5% of the vote, while John Thune of South Dakota and Sen. John Cornyn of Texas got 6.6% and 5.2% respectively. Around 22.6% of the votes were for “other” candidates.

The race for Senate leadership is shaping up to be a three-way fight between Scott, Cornyn, and Thune. Both Cornyn and Thune served as deputies to McConnell when he was Senate majority leader. Thune is GOP whip.

Read the full article. The vote for Senate leader is secret and Scott is not very well liked by some Senate Republicans.
