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. The results came in early, before 9 p.m., but Senator Rick Scott supporters have been on a celebration high all night. Meantime, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell supporters in Miami had to cut their night short, and cut their losses too. The room full of Scott fans clapped when they saw Scott’s name and cheered when they heard he won and celebrated when Scott walked on stage. “Florida, we did it!” said Scott. People from near and far came to watch the final call come in. State Senator Jay Collins of Tampa brought his kid to support Scott, who Collins calls a colleague and a friend. “Rick is amazing. One of the hardest working men in politics,” said Collins. “Would you imagine how much better it’s going to be when he not only wins this race but the Senate majority leader as well? How much can get done?” Scott has already said if elected, he would replace Republican Senator Mitch McConnell as the next GOP leader, and on Tuesday, Scott doubled down on exactly that. “The work is not done,” said Scott. “Next week, we have another election, Senate Republican leader!” While it’s all celebration here, the mood is a little different in Miami where Debbie Mucarsel-Powell hosted her own election watch event. “There were millions of Floridians that today came out to say, no mas,” said Mucarsel-Powell. “Millions of Floridians that wanted change for the state of Florida, but today, we were not successful.” The outcome of the race — could have a big impact on the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Just before midnight, Republicans had a strong edge in the Senate. The party had flipped two seats, giving them a 50-to-41 lead and nine seats yet to be called. 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. 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.
