Florida’s Rick Scott reelected to US Senate

Published: Updated:

Florida incumbent Rick Scott has been reelected to the U.S. Senate.

In Florida’s U.S. Senate race, Republican Scott faced Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a former U.S. representative from Miami-Dade County.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell waited in Miami for election results while Senator Rick Scott watched the results come in at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort in Bonita Springs.

Scott, a former Florida governor turned senator, campaigned on continuing his fight for Florida families and holding Washington and democrats accountable.

He promises to “rescue America” from the destruction he attributes to President Joe Biden.

“The woke left controls the executive branch, a lot of our government, academia and Hollywood. We’ve got to change this,” said Scott.

This will be Scott’s second term in the Senate

He has stated that if elected, he’ll replace Republican Senator Mitch McConnell as the next GOP leader.

Mucarsel-Powell, a former U.S. representative, campaigned on lowering costs.

Scott first became a senator six years ago with 50% of the vote over incumbent Bill Nelson.
