Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who is vying for Senate leadership, said Tuesday that Americans have given the Republican Party a mandate to “carry out President Trump's policies.”

He's been successful in business and led Hospital Corporation of America to the 8th largest employer in the nation. “He developed and managed the president and then transferred those management skills to really rebuilding Florida and rebuilding Governor DeSantis, and he's a key ally of mine in the U.S. Senate,'' Johnson said.
“I just watched him operate. I mean, he's amazing. I always call him a perpetual motion machine. He never stops. So he's one of the great majority. “He will be the leader,'' he said, accusing McConnell of running a “one-man dictatorship'' across the leadership.
“We had no idea what his strategy was,” he said, later adding, “It's one man, the dictatorship versus Rick Scott.”
