Alternet: “Has Rick Scott emerged as the front-runner to succeed Mitch McConnell as majority leader for Senate Republicans? Two betting markets think so.
On Monday, Polymarket gave the Florida Republican a 60% chance of succeeding McConnell, who announced earlier this year that he would step down from leading Senate Republicans following the general election. Polymarket places Idaho Sen. John Thune in second place, with just a 35% of becoming the next leader. The third candidate in the race, Texas’ John Cornyn, is a distant third at 6%, as of 9 a.m. eastern time.”
