SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently took to social media to endorse lawmaker Rick Scott for Senate majority leader, aligning himself with a growing number of MAGA supporters backing the Florida Republican.
Musk's endorsement came in response to a post from Scott, who had expressed his commitment to supporting President-elect Trump's call for swift confirmation of nominations through Recess Appointments in the Senate.
Several prominent Republican senators, including Marco Rubio, Bill Hagerty, Ron Johnson, and Rand Paul, have also voiced their support for Scott's bid for the Senate GOP leadership position.
While Scott faces competition from fellow Republican senators John Cornyn and John Thune for the role currently held by Mitch McConnell, his supporters remain optimistic about his chances.
Scott has expressed his desire for a public endorsement from Trump, although reports suggest that the president-elect has been cautious about intervening in the leadership race.
As the momentum builds behind Rick Scott's campaign for Senate majority leader, it remains to be seen how the Republican leadership contest will unfold in the coming days.
