Rick Scott is Florida's Republican governor, not a senator-elect.
Yet there he was at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's left shoulder Wednesday when the Kentucky Republican welcomed GOP senators who will take their seats in January when the new Congress is sworn in.
Scott holds the narrowest of leads over Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, and a recount is ongoing.
During a brief photo op in McConnell's Capitol office, Scott did not reply to a question about whether he contends there was fraud in the election.
President Donald Trump and Scott have accused elections supervisors in two Florida Democratic counties of fraud without offering evidence. State law enforcement and elections officials have said no fraud complaints have been filed.
