SCOTT TO RUN FOR U.S. SENATE

Apr 10, 2018 | 4:54 AM

As expected, Florida Governor Rick Scott announced yesterday he will challenge U.S. Senator Bill Nelson for the Senate seat he now holds. Scott made the announcement at an Orlando construction company. Nelson, 75, said he is ready to face the 65-year-old Scott. Scott is a two-term Republican governor, and repeatedly criticized “career politicians” and said he would push for term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Heading into the Senate race, Scott’s popularity numbers are his best since he was elected Governor. In a February poll from Quinnipiac University, Scott had a 49-40 percent approval rating.
