We should let these two snakes fight each other out.

If Donald Trump Jr wanted to run for the United States Senate, he would have attempted to primary Rubio, rather run against Scott.

I massivly disagree with this! Scott has always been weaker because of his tepid Approval Ratings.

[Sir Mohamed]

Garbage poll until proven otherwise.

I really don't see how Scott is endangered to lose a GOP primary.

He could lose to either Donald Trump Jr. or Ivanka. Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner are living in FL and Ivanka would fulfill the 3-Year Residency Requirement to run for Political Office in FL if she prefers to do so in 2024.

I didn’t see another thread about the 2024 Florida Senate race, so perhaps this will be the megathread?

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell’s tweet today hints at a potential run by saying “I’m getting ready…”

I think she’d be a decent candidate, but I think Stephanie Murphy (or Val Demings, if she loses this year and runs again in 2024) are probably the candidates to beat in the Democratic primary at this point. But, it’s extremely early.

Always been curious, how do Floridians generally feel about Rick Scott?

Is it a "we tolerate him" a là Mitch McConnell or "we love him" (or something else)?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

All eyes are on Gwen Graham and if she runs for Sen it's no coincidence that she wasn't selected for Crist LT Gov, and Biden will be a Lame Duck in his second term lets go Gwen Graham

Don Jr is not running for Senate

[2016]

My guess: Rick Scott retires and Ivanka Trump runs!

[citizenZ]

I heard rumors of Donald Trump Jr running for Governor of Ohio after Dewine's term or Governor of Florida after DeSantis.

I think both states could easily elect him.

Does Junior even live in Florida?

[SnowLabrador]

It doesn't matter. Florida is no longer winnable for Democrats for a number of reasons, including that:

1. The Florida Democratic Party is the most broken-down, dysfunctional disaster of a state Democratic Party, and that's saying something, whereas the FL GOP is organizing 24/7/365 as though there's an election every week.

2. Conservatives from other states are flocking to Florida because they love Ron DeSantis. Imagine wanting to live in Florida of all places. Plus, people who want to live in states where abortion is legal might leave. This is making the state's baseline partisanship redder.

3. We live in the darkest timeline, and Florida going blue, even in a blue wave, isn't consistent with that.

Does Junior even live in Florida?

He lives in Miami together with his Fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle as does Ivanka Trump with her Husband Jared Kushner.

Don Jr. & Ivanka could not run this year because of the 3-Year FL Residency Requirement but they can run in 2024.

If Democrats retain Senate Control Rick Scott will face an enormous amount of backslash and I could see McConnell, Thune, Barrasso cutting him loose as soon as January 2023. McConnell may even endorse a Primary Challenge to Rick Scott in 2024.

This is so very well said SnowLabrador. You got to give credit somewhere to the FL State GOP. They faced long odds until recently, winning Elections time and time again when they had no business winning them.

And Comments by NY Governor Kathy Hochul telling people to move to Florida are not helping Democrats in the Sunshine State. I predict another 1M Influx of Voters to Florida over the next two years.

I don’t see McConnell backing a primary challenger to an incumbent, he’s very protective of incumbents. I could see Rick Scott deciding not to run for another term, and perhaps McConnell would be happy with that outcome. But I don’t see him openly endorsing or supporting a challenger, even if he personally dislikes Scott.

Incredible how little Rick Scott has done to build any sort of affinity among any people, anywhere.

[HidingCommentary]

I would be very tempted to change parties to vote for Jr. I dislike Rick Scott that much.

Even Voldemort himself had a group of genuine supporters.

[Alben Barkley]

Honestly might be an upgrade, or at least a lateral move.

And would be HILARIOUS for Scott to suck Trump's d--k this much only to be discarded in favor of his son.

Thus always to sycophants.

Side note: It's stuff like this and the fake story about how King Charles proclaimed Trump the winner that makes me think the GOP is the spiritual successor to Loyalist, monarchist traitors to the Republic.

[Progressive Pessimist]

I'm conflicted on this because I wouldn't wish Senator Don Jr. on anyone, even Florida! But on the other hand, I would love to finally f***ing see Rick Scott lose a damn election already! No matter who it's against!

In all likelihood, Scott prevails by 1% or less in this primary, as always.
