Scott was a good Governor here in FL. I voted for him for Senate as well. This is more complicated than idealogical purity. Alaska votes fairly moderately for Senators. Good chance a Trump endorsed nominee loses there. I think Scott is just trying to protect that seat from flipping.
As much as I dislike Murkowski's squishiness, she succeeds her father in that US Senate seat and that has pretty much kept that seat red since 2002. The other Senate seat in Alaska was barely a flip to red in 2008 but a strong hold in 2020. Aside from betting heavily on an outsized red wave in 2022, this really is the safest place to put campaign resources.
This will not be a popular opinion here, but it is the reality of the situation.

Frankly, DeSantis is a better governor than Scott was. (But both were better than any Bush.)
DeSantis is in a class of his own. He really sets the mold for how Republican governors should lead.
