Rick Scott: To be successful in 2022 GOP needs to kiss the big orange Rump

Sen. Rick Scott said it would be 'foolish' for GOP candidates 'not to want and accept' Trump's endorsement in the 2022 midterm elections

Sen. Rick Scott on Sunday said that it would be "foolish" for Republican candidates to not wholly accept an endorsement from former President Donald Trump as they head into the 2022 midterm elections.

During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," the Florida Republican, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said that the former president's seal of approval is something that candidates should embrace, but reiterated that an endorsement would not automatically translate into an electoral victory.

"I think you'd be foolish not to want and accept Donald Trump's endorsement, but you're going to win not because somebody endorses you," he said. "You're going to win because you focus on making sure inflation gets stopped. Making sure people get a job. Making sure their kid, your kids, aren't indoctrinated on critical race theory. Making sure we have safe communities. That's gonna be the issues that people care about."

Republicans, fresh off of a big victory in Virginia, with Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin defeating former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, and a closer-than-expected victory by Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, have sought to use the momentum from those races to boost the conservative base as the party aims to regain control of Congress next year.
