— after the Florida senator challenged the longtime GOP leader for his post.
Most of Congress’ intraparty feuds are fleeting, especially when margins of control are as close as they are in the House and Senate these days. Any standoff that lasts longer than a few days risks ceding power to the other party.Over the past year, Scott has managed to dislodge Cruz as the biggest thorn in McConnell’s side, no small feat.

Scott won narrowly in 2018, ousting former Sen. Bill Nelson , though the state has moved to the right in the last four years.
