The FL senate race is a must win for Dems. If they win then the count is 52 - 48 in the senate. The Dems think that they can flip 3 repubs on any crucial vote. But if Scott wins then it is 53 - 47. Dems do not feel that they can flip 4 repubs on a critical vote.
Exactly, it’s a numbers game.
Bill Nelson is not a bad guy; he’s pretty low key. This is not his doing. On his own accord the old guy would resign. He IS under tremendous pressure to keep that critical seat by any means necessary.
