Obama Endorses Mucarsel-Powell in Tight Florida Senate Race

The former president's support comes as polls show a narrow lead for incumbent Rick Scott in a pivotal contest.

Former President Barack Obama has endorsed Democratic candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for the Florida Senate race.
Obama praised Mucarsel-Powell's background, highlighting her rise from working in a donut shop to serving in Congress.
Recent polls show incumbent Sen. Rick Scott leading Mucarsel-Powell by 6 points, though the race remains competitive.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is investing heavily in Florida, aiming to unseat Scott.
Scott, who has a history of narrow electoral victories, is actively involved in hurricane recovery efforts in the state.
