Elon Musk has endorsed Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader, joining other conservative figures who support Scott’s bid.
Musk’s endorsement came in response to Scott’s support for President-elect Trump’s request for recess appointments to expedite confirmation of nominees.
Scott, a Republican from Florida, is seen as a long shot for the position, which has been held by Mitch McConnell since 2007. He is facing competition from fellow Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota.
Scott hopes for Trump’s public endorsement, but reports indicate that the president-elect is hesitant to get involved in the race.
