In nearly 16 years, Sen. Mitch McConnell never faced an intra-party rival to challenge his post as Senate Republican's top leader. Rick Scott just changed that. (via MaddowBlog)
Sen. Rick Scott announced a challenge to Sen. Mitch McConnell for the top Republican leadership job in the Senate during a meeting of the GOP members on Tuesday. A spokesman for Scott, of Florida, confirmed the announcement.
There is not yet a firm headcount as to who’s most likely to win this fight, though McConnell is almost certainly the favorite. That said, we won’t have to wait too long to learn who’s won: Senate Republicans are scheduled to meet tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. eastern for a closed-door, secret-ballot election. The winner will be decided by majority rule.
