MIAMI - The Florida Senate race between incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Scott and Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is set to be one of the most closely watched contests in the 2024 election.
The outcome could significantly influence the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. Republicans currently hold a slim 49-to-47 seat majority, and this election's outcome could tip the balance.
Scott, 71, offers a continuation of conservative, free-market policies, while Mucarsel-Powell, 53, presents a progressive platform focused on healthcare, the environment and social equity.

Powell has been airing her Ads on Fox News repeatedly. In my opinion, her Ad is very effective for the uninformed. She blames Scott for the obscene rise in insurance premiums in Florida, after receiving $3 million campaign contributions from the insurance industry.
I thought the governor has more to do with regulating insurance industry. Scott is a US Senator, not directly responsible for state issues.
It is a close race with Scott leading by only 2 points.

“It is a close race with Scott leading by only 2 points.”
RCP has him up 5.

RCP numbers are usually over longer time span.
That 2 point lead is from recent polls, is my understanding.
I would like to see Ads from Scott responding to Powell’s Ads. I have seen no Ads from Scott. Powell is blanketing Fox News with her Ads.
