Potential McConnell Challenger Rick Scott Says Midterms Was Total Disappointment

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Fox News host Sean Hannity struck a disappointed tone on Friday night as the two attempted to break down exactly why Republicans did not have a more significant showing in the midterms.

“Where did all this pie in the sky talk about a wave and a tsunami election come from? Because I never saw it,” Hannity asked Scott at the tail-end of the interview.

According to Scott, the disappointments can be chalked up to not enough voters turning out and the party not presenting enough of a “positive” message to contrast with President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Scott, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, called the midterm results a “complete disappointment.”

“Here’s what happened to us. Election Day, our voters didn’t show up. We didn’t get enough voters. It’s a complete disappointment,” the senator said. “We’ve got to reflect now. What didn’t happen? I think we didn’t have enough of a positive message. We said everything about how bad the Biden agenda was. It’s bad, the Democrats are radical, but we have to have a plan of what we stand for.”
