'There Is an Alternative': Trump Backs Rick Scott as 'Much Better' GOP Senate Leader Than McConnell

As corporate media spun the narrative of election night to best suit the establishment, former President Donald Trump’s endorsements told a different tale with the biggest one gunning for Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) job.

The final results of the 2022 midterm election have yet to be decided and, as votes are counted, Republicans remain favored to take control of Congress, albeit with a smaller advantage than originally anticipated. Ahead of a currently unscheduled vote to decide the Senate Majority Leader should that play out, Trump voiced his preference for Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL).

With Trump calling in to BlazeTV’s live election coverage Tuesday night, host Glenn Beck spoke candidly with the former president and asked, “So will you endorse Rick Scott to replace him in the coming days?”

“Well, I think Rick is very good,” Trump expressed. “I think he’s highly underrated; smart guy; works hard; tirelessly. He was a great governor of Florida. He did a great job and he’s a very good senator. And it’s a little tough because, you know, McConnell gives everybody their 20 million dollars.”
