How high a priority is Florida for national Republicans in the Midterms? The Republican National Committee is announcing that its “Take Back Out Country Tour” will hold one its first stops in the Sunshine State.
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, who heads the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), announced the tour with Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Ronna McDaniel and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Chair Tom Emmer. Interested voters were encouraged to sign up for updates online.
Meanwhile, almost immediately after the tour was announced, Florida media were notified of a stop in Doral for Tuesday, Oct. 18.
Scott, Florida’s junior U.S. Senator, will join McDaniel to stump with Reps. Mario Díaz-Balart, Carlos Giménez and María Elvira Salazar, as well as Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez.
“Republicans are more united than ever to elect Republicans up and down the ballot and take back the House and Senate,” reads a joint statement from Scott, Emmer and McDaniel.
“This election is a referendum on Joe Biden and Democrats’ clear record of failure: rising costs, out of control crime, and an open border. Voters have nominated an incredible slate of Republican candidates that offer a clear alternative to Democrats’ disastrous one-party rule. The choice is clear this November and Republicans have commonsense solutions to take back our country.”
The event will kick off at 2 p.m. at the RNC Hispanic Community Center.
Scott’s interest, of course, is in electing a Republican majority in the Senate, though notably, the announced list of attendees did not include U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio. His re-election, though, is critical to efforts to reach 51 seats in the Senate. He faces a challenge from U.S. Rep. Val Demings, an Orlando Democrat.
Salazar remains the House incumbent in Florida facing the most serious challenge, if only because Democrats representing Florida swing districts chose not to seek re-election. A poll released Monday shows Salazar leading Democratic state Sen. Annette Taddeo, but it’s clear the NRCC still wants attention and support for the incumbent in Florida’s 27th Congressional District.
Giménez also faces a nationally backed challenge from Democrat Robert Ascencio.
Of course, re-electing Gov. Ron DeSantis and Nuñez to a second term has also been a high priority for national Republicans.

Take our country back and give it to the billionaires, multimillionaires, and grifters like Rick Scott. They will have to cheat seeing as the majority of Americans see through their scam by now. They’ll have to empower the terrorists among their supporters to bomb things when they don’t win for the rich. Just a pathetic wreck of a party and national security threat.

You are completely Full of shit. Plenty of colored folks are Republican’s. Here we go with the standard election saying, “Republican’s are racist”. So when the Republican’s put up people like Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powel, etc. Then you Democrats call them Uncle Tom’s. You and your party are going down on 8 November.

Well you said the word “colored folks.” This is an old racist term. You see why people call stupid Republicans racist? Because they don’t give a shit about anyone but white people. Otherwise they would take the time to know and understand what in the hell they are talking about when it comes to race and racial terms.

Why are senior citizens who have ruined this country’s future for the next generation allowed to participate in a way forward?
……..not that the Republican leadership has ever proposed a vision for America’s future. Magical thinking Republicans think 1950 is the model period for America’s future!
