The Republican charged with trying to win control of the U.S. Senate is reportedly trying to convince MSNBC's Joe Scarborough to run in Florida against Democrat Bill Nelson.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, told The Hill that he's talked twice to the former congressman and cable TV host about jumping into the race.

Florida is a perennial player in presidential politics, which would also put a spotlight on the Senate race. Nelson, who is seeking a third term, is viewed as a top GOP target. Republicans need a net gain of four seats to win majority control in the Senate.
