Former Congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell launches Senate bid to unseat GOP Sen. Rick Scott in Florida

Mucarsel-Powell is the first Ecuadorian-born American elected to Congress, previously serving one term before losing reelection in 2020.
Mucarsel-Powell criticizes Scott's stances on abortion, Medicare, and Social Security in her campaign.
Democrats see Florida as a potential battleground state and are supporting Mucarsel-Powell's underdog campaign.
Scott has never lost a statewide Florida race but faces low approval ratings that could aid Mucarsel-Powell.
Mucarsel-Powell will compete against other Democrats in a primary before facing Scott in the general election.
