Even though Sen. Rick Scott did not win the GOP Senate's secret ballot vote to rise to majority leader, the Florida representative says he is still "optimistic."South Dakota Sen. John Thune was voted into the position on Wednesday,

Scott vowed to do “whatever it takes” to pass Trump’s agenda but lost out to a more senior senator, John Thune of South Dakota.

He's a wealthy Floridian who has taken aim at fellow Republicans while pushing to consolidate power in Washington, and his name is not Donald Trump.
