The status quo is broken and big change is needed.

It’s time for new leadership in the Senate that unites Republicans to advance a bold Conservative agenda.

That’s why I’m running to be the Senate Republican Leader, Rick Scott, Florida Republican Senator, via Twitter .

McConnell has controlled the top position since 2007, which makes him the longest-serving GOP leader in the Senate's history.

Republicans are scheduled to hold a leadership vote on November 16.

However, NBC reports that some GOP members have urged McConnell to delay the election until the results of the Georgia Senate runoff are known in December.

Last week's midterm elections saw the Republican party fail to take control of the Senate, losing a seat in Pennsylvania to Democrats.

Like each of you, I am deeply disappointed by the results of the recent election, Rick Scott, Florida Republican Senator, via NBC .
