Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said on Oct. 20 that Republicans could secure as many as 55 seats in the Senate after November’s midterm elections.
Scott made the comment during a get-out-the-vote rally with Rep. Ted Budd (R-N.C.) at the Republican National Committee’s Black Community Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. Tedd is facing Democrat candidate and former judge Cheri Beasley in North Carolina’s U.S. Senate race.
