Rick Scott criticized his party's leadership team in the upper chamber, accusing them of caving in to President Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
While speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition convention in Las Vegas this weekend, the Florida lawmaker who was defeated in his challenge ofMitch McConnell of Kentucky as Senate GOP leader said that the party's leadership had become too deferential to Democratic leaders.
Scott said that Republicans didn't regain a Senate majority because they hadn't articulated what they would do if elected to office.
"The people that win elections tell people what they're going to do and they're hellbent on getting it done," the senator said.
It will take some time for the people in Washington to get the message, but they will get it. He said that a new era where Republicans give voters a positive reason to vote is coming. Schumer and Biden are allowed to win by Republican leaders in the Senate. It happens all the time. It has to stop.
The first-term senator said on Fox News that the election results were a complete disappointment.
Scott said in a Fox News interview that Republicans didn't perform as well as they'd hoped because they acquiesced to Democrats on some legislation. Both bills were supported by Republicans.
Scott talked about the federal budget deficit, inflation, and immigration in his speech in Las Vegas.
