MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -- It looks like Florida Governor Rick Scott will be meeting with President-elect Donald Trump.
The governor tweeted out a message Wednesday afternoon talking about seeing Trump the next day.
Looking forward to seeing @realDonaldTrump tomorrow to congratulate him on his big win and offer my help to reinvent the federal government.

His visit comes as Scott says he is considering running for the U.S. Senate.
During a wide-range interview with reporters on Tuesday, Scott conceded that "an option I have" is to run for the seat held by Sen. Bill Nelson in 2018. Nelson, the only statewide elected Democrat in Florida, has already said he plans to run for a fourth term.
Scott, who has already said he's not interested in a potential job in the Trump administration, didn't lay out any kind of timetable for a decision and instead said that he would continue to focus on his current post.
Scott was re-elected as Florida's governor in 2014, but is limited by law from seeking another term.
