Trump-Backed Rick Scott Wins Florida Senate Race in Landslide Victory

Nov 6, 2024, 01:09 AM

Republican incumbent Senator Rick Scott, a Trump-backed candidate, has been re-elected to the U.S. Senate from Florida, securing another term by a significant margin. Multiple news organizations, including the Associated Press, Fox News, ABC News, NBC News, and Decision Desk HQ, projected his victory, with Decision Desk HQ declaring the race at 8:00 PM EDT. Scott's substantial lead exceeded expectations, with reports indicating he was up by 11% even before the traditionally Republican panhandle results were fully in. This outcome eliminates a potential pickup opportunity for Democrats and further solidifies Republican control in the Senate.
