Days before Senate Republicans pick their new leader, President-elect Donald Trump is pressuring the candidates to change Senate rules and give him more power to appoint unconfirmed nominees.

Scott is considered the long shot candidate to become Senate Republican Leader, while Sens. John Thune (R-SD) and John Cornyn (R-TX) are the favorites.
