“I put a lot of effort in, and I believe in Trump’s agenda,” the former Florida governor and two-term senator said in an exclusive national digital interview with Fox News.
Scott spoke from the sidelines of a two-day policy summit held at a hotel blocks from the U.S. Capitol that was hosted by Rescuing the American Dream, a public policy group aligned with the conservative senator. …
Scott noted that “a lot of my friends are working” in the second Trump administration. “I’ve got a lot of friends there.” …
Scott, a self-made multimillionaire who’s the wealthiest member of the Senate, emphasized that “I’m going to do everything I can because I believe in the agenda.” He said he’s working with his Senate colleagues as well as friends in the House “to get the Trump agenda accomplished.” …
[Senate Majority Leader John] Thune noted that Scott, who holds a weekly dinner with House GOP members and Trump administration officials, “meets with them [House Republicans] on a regular basis. So we’ve got good lines of communication.”
Looking forward, Scott emphasized that in order to push the Trump agenda forward, “We’ve got to be very vocal. We’ve got to do op-eds. We’ve got to be on television. We’ve got to be on radio. We’ve got to be talking about why this is good for a normal person.” …
He highlighted that “we’ve got to codify these things” and “this country should be run by Congress passing normal laws that help you as an American citizen, and that’s what we ought to do. I appreciate what the president’s doing, but we’ve got to codify these things.”
