Florida Democrats decided Tuesday evening who they want to see face off for Sen. Rick Scott's congressional seat in November, the Associated Press projected.
The South Florida Democrat who previously held the title of first Ecuadorian American in Congress has defeated her primary challengers as she seeks the seat currently held by Republican Sen. Rick Scott. Former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell was projected to win the Democrat primary on Tuesday evening, according to the Associated Press. Scott, won his own contested race Tuesday, has led Mucarsel-Powell in a likely matchup by mid single-digits in recent polls.
He has criticized the fact that many Democrats were already calling Mucarsel-Powell the 'nominee' prior to Tuesday's contest, the outlet reported. Veteran and community organizer Rod Joseph highlighted his military service on his campaign website and said he had been nicknamed 'The Truth' for 'steadfast adherence to honesty and integrity.
