Democrats are messaging around the theme of “freedom” this cycle, and Senate aspirant Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is no exception.
The Senate hopeful is countering an ad from incumbent U.S. Sen. Rick Scott with a new ad and an accusation that he is exploiting the “trauma” of those who fled despotism in their homelands.
“Rick Scott loves to use socialism as a political attack because he has no idea the pain that ideology has caused. I came to the United States from a country which suffered under a military dictatorship — this is real for me. I’ve seen firsthand what happens when politicians come for our freedoms, and I won’t let a fraud like Rick Scott take us down a path of extremism and authoritarianism. And I refuse to let him use the trauma of so many Latinos who risked everything to escape socialist dictatorships and come to America for his own political game. Floridians are fed up with Rick Scott’s extremism and 14 years of failures, and our campaign will work to make sure every voter knows they can vote for a better future in this election.”
Some Floridians may be fed up, but Scott still leads the race by nearly 6 percentage points, per RealClearPolitics’ polling average.
But it’s Mucarsel-Powell’s hope that her first General Election spot will turn the tide.
“Rick Scott is trying to take away your freedoms — right now … If you care about freedom, elect a Senator who actually believes in it,” she says in the spot.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Vote for me because I’m Hispanic. That’s all she has at this point. Turn out the lights, it’s over for Debbie. It has been since the beginning of her campaign.

MAGA MARK, look here dudette, the dems are the party of love, DEI, and peace. the maga cult, your gang, is the party of trump’s last whim. i’ll say it again, you are a hater because you are a maga cultist. no amount of your childish whataboutism and maga lies is going to make you less of a hater.
