Scott Claims GOP Victory in Senate Leadership Fight
In Washington Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania claims victory as Senate Republicans prepare to elect a new leader this week. Senator Hruska of Nebraska pulled out and backed Baker who seeks to unite moderates and conservatives to defeat Scott. Baker counts support from Murphy Goldwater Tower and others while Scott argues Hruska’s absence due to lack of seniority weakens Baker’s bid.
