Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, announced his endorsement of Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., on Wednesday morning ahead of the 9:30 a.m. leadership elections.
"This morning, I’ll be voting for Rick Scott for GOP Leader, as I did two years ago. In 2022, I helped lead the charge for Rick against McConnell & I’m proud to stand with him again.
"For 12 yrs, I’ve been unequivocal that we need to change GOP Leadership—and now we finally will," he wrote on X.
The last minute endorsement comes as a blow to Sen.
