U.S. Sen. Rick Scott on Saturday led the largest Trump golf cart parade in the history of The Villages.
Estimates were that more than 1,000 decorated golf carts participated in the boisterous, horn-honking procession from Lake Sumter Landing to Brownwood.
When Scott’s golf cart reached Brownwood, the line of carts stretched all the way back to Market Square at Lake Sumter Landing.
Scott, who is facing a challenge from Democrat Debbie Mucarsel Powell, who visited The Villages earlier in the week, urged Villagers to get out and vote in support of the GOP ticket.
Scott said support from The Villages will be vital to his candidacy as well as returning former President Trump to the White House.
“The vote coming out of The Villages will offset the Democratic vote coming out of Broward County,” the former two-term governor told the crowd.
Scott announced he plans to run for Senate Majority Leader and promised to chart a new course. Scott has been critical of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Earlier Saturday morning, Scott addressed a Republican audience at Colony Recreation Center, where he announced that the Florida Republican Party has established a “Seniors for Rick Scott” coalition. He vowed he would safeguard Social Security and Medicare as well as strengthen programs for veterans.
Scott was joined at the event by state Rep. John Temple and Sumter County Commissioner Roberta Ulrich, as well as former La. Gov. Bobby Jindal.
