Rick Scott\u2019s National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) after weak results in the 2022 midterms.<\/p>\n<p>Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) argued that an independent review of the committee should be held to determine how money was spent and investigate the lack of results in gaining a majority in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Hartline, an NRSC spokesperson, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/11\/16\/rick-scott-nrsc-00067439\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Politico that the call for an audit was unnecessary, as the committee provides regular filings with the Federal Election Commission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe get audited every month. It\u2019s called an FEC report,\u201d Hartline said, adding that \u201cevery member of the caucus was kept in the loop on NRSC strategy and spending all cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NRSC raised $234.6 million for the cycle leading up to October 19, with the committee spending $235.3 million since the start of 2021, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The calls for an audit also come as Scott vies to unseat Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Scott announced his intention to challenge McConnell for the leadership position on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe status quo is broken and big change is needed. It\u2019s time for new leadership in the Senate that unites Republicans to advance a bold conservative agenda,\u201d Scott tweeted. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m running to be the Senate Republican Leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m writing to you today because I believe it\u2019s time for the Senate Republican Conference to be far more bold and resolute than we have been in the past. We must start saying what we are for, not just what we are against,\u201d Scott said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rick-scott-announces-plan-unseat-mitch-mcconnell-top-republican-senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a> to his party\u2019s fellow Republican senators. \u201cI do not believe we can simply continue to say the Democrats are radical, which they are. Republican voters expect and deserve to know our plan to promote and advance conservative values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The status quo is broken and big change is needed.
