Democrat Bill Nelson concedes Florida Senate seat to Rick Scott

[dukkha]

Florida’s Democratic US Senator Bill Nelson conceded on Sunday the loss of his seat to outgoing state governor and Republican Rick Scott after the voting recount deadline passed and Scott was 10,000 votes ahead.

Scott actually first announced his opponent’s concession saying, in a statement: “I just spoke with Senator Bill Nelson, who graciously conceded, and I thanked him for his years of public service.”

A little later on Sunday afternoon, Nelson issued his own statement.

“It has been a rewarding journey as well as a very humbling experience,” said Nelson. “I was not victorious in this race but I still wish to strongly re-affirm the cause for which we fought: a public office is a public trust.”

The stunning close of nearly two weeks of high political drama in the presidential swing state likely spelled the end of the political career of the 76-year-old Nelson. First elected to Congress 40 years ago, Nelson had been a Democratic survivor in an era when Republicans swept to power in Florida.

I'm very happy with the Florida turnout getting rid of a virtually unknown Senator
as well as a corrupt cop-hating Governor wanna be.

Even all the fraud couldn't overturn the will of the people.

why do you feel the need to make this about race?

Gillum was corrupt cop hating garbage. Nelson was virtually AWOL -why not stick with FACTS instead of deliberately bringing up race. Florida went for Obama 2 times

not for lack of trying...DeSantis needs to fire Snipes as soon as he's sworn in

[dukkha]

Gillum’s announcement came hours after the US president, Donald Trump, said on Twitter that Gillum will be a “strong Democrat warrior” and a “force to reckon with.”

nice of Trump to say that..hopefully he's completely wrong though

She is a Negro! Is she not

Negro
Person of African descent. Not a degrogatory term as witnessed by example below. Not in common useage anymore, as African-American has become politically correct, however, one wonders what a Negroid person in Africa should be termed when describing ethnicity.


Negro is not a slur!

How can any citizen of Florida not feel humiliated that the state can't even run a simple election properly?
The 10th Amendment is the one that needs to be questioned.

We need federal oversight of our elections,
and maybe, we might need international oversight at first to make sure that the feds get it right.

Let the UN do something useful.
It's pretty hard to be more fucked up than we are right now.

I don't care how much fun that I had in the Fontainebleau back in younger days.
Florida is fucked up beyond description--even more than the nation at large.

i'm not going to debate slut or not that except to say it's a very condensending term that is not welcome by blacks
-so I see no gain in using what they take as an insult. why go there?


Black woman/man is simple enough

very true. It's ALWAYS the Democratic Broward that is corrupt/incompetent

[NiftyNiblick]

Hypersensitivity is not nearly as bad as racism, but it can be just as annoying.

Feel free to call me "Caucasian."

I'm not thrilled with it, but I'll find a way to live with it.
