Florida is gonna be a might interesting this election season.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) announced on Monday that he’ll challenge Sen. Bill Nelson (D), setting up a marquee battle that could help decide which party controls the Senate.

Trump won Florida by less than a percentage point.  Trump and Scott are closer than skin on a sausage.

It’ll be a blood sport but it will also probably be the most expensive political race in the country.  Florida loves to spend money wildly on its politicians.

The big question hanging in the air is this: Will Scott’s giving in just a little on gun control with his three day waiting period piss off the NRA but also make the energized kids and Democrats mad because it’s far too little far too late?  It’s hard to totally hack-off both sides but he might have done it.

And … about 100,000 Puerto Ricans resettled to Florida following hurricane Maria.  They vote 2 to 1 for Democrats.

It’s gonna be genuine fun for political scientists to watch this race.
