2024 United States Senate election in Florida

The 2024 United States Senate election in Florida was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Florida. Incumbent Republican Senator Rick Scott won a second term, defeating Democratic nominee Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. The primary election was held on August 20, 2024.

Scott, then the governor of Florida, was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018 by 0.12 points, defeating then-incumbent Bill Nelson. With the benefit of incumbency and the state's rightward trend, most political pundits considered the race to be favoring Scott to win re-election. On Election Day, Scott won by 12.78 percentage points, a significantly larger margin than most pre-election polls had suggested.

Out of all of Scott’s four statewide races (2010 and 2014 gubernatorial elections, 2018 and 2024 senatorial elections), this election was by far his best performance, and the first one he won decisively, as he narrowly won the previous three all by less than a 2% margin. Scott won majority-Hispanic Miami-Dade and Osceola counties, as well as St. Lucie County for the first time in all of his statewide races, and according to exit polls Scott won 55% of Hispanic voters and also won 21% of African American voters.
