It was announced today that term limited Governor Rick Scott (R-FL) will seek election as a Senator for Florida,
“I never planned to fit in, and I won’t fit in in Washington, either,” Scott says in the video. “It’s time to shake that place up. We don’t need another politician in Washington. It’s full of politicians, and that’s why it’s broken.”

There are reports that Rick Scott is running for the US Senate, Florida.
I am 100% on board with Rick Scott. His leadership has been invaluable, especially in tough situations like the Orlando massacre, hurricanes, & Parkland.#RickScott #MondayMotivation

Democrats like to talk about their “blue wave.” But a Red Tide is rising high. Come midterms, it will roll right over that puny wave, sinking it to the deepest depths of total despair.
Get out there and vote.

After restricting the 2nd Amendment right of the people in Florida, Rick Scott now wants to expand his invertebrate Republican brand and do it nationally. Hard pass. https://t.co/3k2Gnf88gj
