Democrats face a costly Florida primary to take on Sen. Rick Scott
Senate Democrats know who they want to run against incumbent Florida Republican Rick Scott next year. But the message hasn’t gotten through to Florida Democrats.and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee officials are trying to convince former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell to jump into a race against Scott, multiple Democrats familiar with the discussions but who weren’t authorized to speak openly, told POLITICO.
A number of top Democrats in Florida, a once-perennial battleground state that has taken a sharp turn to the right in recent years, have ruled out a Senate bid next year. To make matters worse, the party’s bench there is thin. Now they are looking likely to face a multicandidate, costly primary that drains the eventual nominee of resources, something the party had been hoping to avoid.
“There are pythons more popular than Rick Scott’s plan to cut Medicare and Social Security,” said Maeve Coyle, a spokesperson for the DSCC. “Democrats will look for every opportunity to put Republicans on defense, including in states like Florida.”
