Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who has been mentioned as a potential 2024 presidential candidate, will make a run to lead the Senate Republicans’ campaign arm for the 2022 election cycle, Politico reported.
Senate Republicans are set to hold their leadership elections Tuesday, Politico reported.
If elected to head the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Scott, a former Florida governor, will lead efforts to defend 21 GOP seats on the ballot, including two openings in the battleground states of North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Both Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., have announced they plan to retire, Politico noted.
Sen. Todd Young of Indiana led the NRSC this past cycle, where Senate Republicans appear likely to hold a slim majority. Control of the Senate, however, won’t be determined until Jan. 5, when Georgia will hold two runoff elections for GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
