Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said that Republican leaders in the Senate cost the GOP the majority because they caved to Democrats on legislation.

In an interview on Fox Business on Sunday, Scott said that he agreed with suggestions to postpone Republicans’ internal leadership elections. Those contests are scheduled for next week.
