Republican Senator Rick Scott Wins Reelection in Florida

Florida Senator Rick Scott won election to a second term, fending off Democratic challenger who sought to break Republicans’ hold on the state.

Scott was leading US Representative Debbie Mucarsel-Powell by 55.4% to 43.1% with 87% of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press. His margin of victory topped his last race in 2018, when he bested Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson by a razor-thin 0.2 percentage points, or roughly 10,000 votes.
