FL-SEN: Democrat in Florida Senate race raises over $1M after poll showing dead heat
Former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel Powell’s (D-Fla.) Senate campaign said on Wednesday it raised over $1 million in the 48 hours after a poll from The Hill and Emerson College showed her tied with incumbent Sen. Rick Scott (R).
Mucarsel Powell’s campaign also said she brought in 13,000 first-time donors during the same period.
“This surge in grassroots support confirms what we have been seeing across the state — Floridians are fed up with Rick Scott’s extremism and are eager for the freedom and economic opportunities that Debbie Mucarsel-Powell champions,” Mucarsel Powell’s campaign manager Ben Waldon said in a statement.
The haul comes after polls show tightening races at the Senate and presidential levels in Florida. On Monday, a Morning Consult survey of the presidential race in Florida showed Vice President Kamala Harris trailing former President Trump by only two points.
