Rick Scott is a relative newcomer to the Senate—relative in terms of Senate math—having been in the job for six years now; that's one term compared to Thune and Cornyn who have been there for 20 years. Really, the difference is that early on in Trump's first term he wasn't immediately embraced by the party, and there were times when certainly McConnell and people like Thune pushed back against him to a degree. They've pivoted and now very much do embrace him; but Scott doesn't have the track record of having done that.
