Who will challenge Scott in 2024

[Lognog]

Right now he has terrible approvals in the recent Monmouth polls, especially compared to Rubio and disantis

I don't know, but it's probably between Lean and Likely R no matter who it is. Republicans have a high floor in Florida, and if he was able to beat Bill Nelson in the midst of a historic blue wave, I have a hard time seeing him losing in 2024.

Of course, there's a good chance Scott runs for President in 2024, so this speculation may be moot anyway.

I could see Val Demings if she doesn't challenge Rubio.

[Astatine]

Donna Shalala.

He could still drop out and run for reelection like another Republican Florida Senator.

I would say the race would be a true toss up to start. Scott is not well liked, the question is who will be the democrat

[NewYorkExpress]

Charlie Crist?

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

TSA

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Donna Shalala.

Isn't she like 80?

[TDAS04]

Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

[Not Me, Us]

Stephanie Murphy maybe. She's one of higher profile Floridan congresspeople.

[Heebie Jeebie]

Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

(j/k)

You're kidding, but I think she'd be a good choice.  I'd also favor a run by Kathy Castor or Ted Deutch.

[Roll Roons]

Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

DWS would be the Democratic equivalent of Katherine Harris in 2006. Except she's not even popular with the base.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

If dems pass gerrymandering reforms in congress, Murphy will be re elected in 22(even in an R wave year) and run against Scott in 2024. If we dont pass that, Rs will draw her out and shell run against Rubio instead. Nikki Fried may also run

[ChrisMcDanielWasRobbed]

Imagine if Scott Retired to run for president and we got Katherine Harris vs Debbie Wasserman Schultz!

[President Johnson]

Depends on who runs for the seat in 2022. If said challenger loses, he or she won't likely run again unless it's a nailbiter in a Republican wave year. I think Stephanie Murphy or Val Demings would be good candidates. Actually hope Demings runs in 2022 already.

gwen graham

[Sestak]

DeSantis

[Heebie Jeebie]

The more I think about it, the more I like Ted Deutch as Scott's opponent.  His district covers a significant chunk of Miami-Dade, and as Chair of the House Ethics Committee he has the background to hit Scott hard on his scummy corruption.  He's the right age, has the right experience, and is just vanilla enough not to scare the squishy moderates the way Gillum did in 2018.

Debbie Wasserman Shultz.

^this exactly


My guess is it would be Demings. The party is boosting her profile, and that's a good sign. Depending on how she does this year and 2022, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell would also be a good choice. Beyond that it's a thin bench
