WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Rick Scott has won the Republican primary in Florida, advancing to a Nov. 5 showdown against the winner of the Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate seat.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Rick Scott has won the Republican primary in Florida, advancing to a Nov. 5 showdown against the winner of the Democratic primary for a U.S. Senate seat.
Florida has shifted politically in the six years since Scott narrowly won office in 2018. At the time, Democrats outnumbered Republicans, but now Republicans have more than a 1 million-voter advantage over Democrats. Mucarsel-Powell’s campaign has focused largely on abortion rights, gun safety and Latin American issues. This year, Florida also has amendments to protect abortion rights and legalize marijuana on the ballot, which have historically benefitted Democrats in elections.
The Senate seat was not the only one in Florida to watch, since some of the state’s congressional races include the most well-known far-right lawmakers.
