Trump-McConnell spat leads Rick Scott, Senate GOP reelection chair, to seek unity
Fox News
Amid a very vocal war of words between the most powerful GOP leader in Congress and the most popular and influential Republican politician among the party’s base, the chair of the reelection arm of the Senate GOP is calling for unity as Republicans aim to win back the chamber’s majority next year.
"Chairman Scott’s goal is to win back the Senate, and the only way we do that is with everyone working together," a source with knowledge of the senator’s thinking tells Fox News. "And that includes both Leader McConnell and Trump. That’s where Scott’s focus is" McConnell voted on Saturday to acquit the former president – who was impeached last month on one count of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by right-wing extremists and other Trump supporters aiming to disrupt congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.More Related News
