A super PAC supporting the reelection of Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) reported a fundraising haul of $1.2 million in its first quarter of operation since forming in April.
The incumbent senator is running in 2024 for a second term representing the Sunshine State in Washington, D.C. Thus far, Florida Democrats have struggled to present a viable challenger to Scott.Project Rescue America said in a press release on Monday that it has raked in $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 for Scott's bid.“We are so thankful to the support so many have shown for Senator Rick Scott,” PRA Executive Director Stu Sandler said.
Democrats in Florida were seeking out possible contenders to take on Scott, according to NBC News. The list includes NBA stars Dwayne Wade and Grant Hill, Brevard County School Board Member Jennifer Jenkins, former Rep. Stephanie Murphy, former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, and state Sen. Shev Jones. Last month, the New York Times reported that Scott was considering launching a comparatively late bid for the presidency in 2024. However, Scott senior adviser Chris Hartline dismissed the report, saying in a statement:"It’s flattering that some have mentioned the possibility of Senator Scott running for President, but as he’s said many times, he’s running for re-election to the Senate.
In 2022, Florida Democrats failed to unseat Sen. Marco Rubio , who beat his Democratic challenger Val Demings by double digits.
