Florida Gov. Rick Scott declined to weigh in on whether state CFO Jeff Atwater should mount a late Senate bid in a radio interview Wednesday. With GOP frontrunner Rep. Connie Mack showing signs of weakness as a candidate, Atwater announced he was considering jumping into the race on Monday.
Atwater “left a message night before last that he was thinking about running for Senate,” Scott said. “There’s a lot of people who’ve gotten in and out of that race.”
