Politico: ‘Who is Bill Nelson?’

[TheSaint250]

He really is running a great campaign so far. This could become more competitive than anyone would have previously thought (though Nelson will still probably win due to the national environment).

Why is Scott so much more popular than he was in 2014 (when his approval was -20)? Is it because of the hurricanes? The Parkland shooting? What?

Both of those are big parts. There has been widespread approval of his handling of the hurricanes, and he signed in a gun reform bill banning bump stocks and raising the age to own a gun to 21 (among other conditions).

I'm just going to post this here, not sure if there's a FL mega thread

It doesn’t look like this will be a massive scandal since this happened before the whole crisis (unless I’m misunderstanding something and if I am please tell me). Depends on how Scott handles this, though. If he doesn’t address it, it probably won’t get much attention. Regretting the decision could benefit him, but supporting it could hurt him.
