I’m still not totally convinced Scott won’t veto that Fla gun bill. If he signs it I doubt he takes that senate seat from Nelson. I’m originally from N Fla. Its major gun territory. So is the panhandle. Very conservative.
Yes, those should have been slam dunk wins, but in the primary we get split votes and end up with fringe candidates.
What?!
Real Clear Politics average of polls has Nelson over Scott by 3.8%

I say, if the republicans plan on their messaging being what it is in the PA Special election, Dems will pick up a good bit more than that in the house.
Their messaging is not going to motivate the MAGA voter to turn out. And Turnout is the key to midterms.
Dems are going to show up, they are motivated. The messaging they are using in the PA special election is NOT going to motivate the I and D Trump voter to come to the polls. It will get the Republican base, but that isn’t going to be enough.
If they don’t fix their messaging, I expect a lot more turnover, as marginal districts will get overwhelmed by D enthusiasm.
