FL-SEN without Rick Scott

Jolly doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell. People seriously overrate him.

If Scott bows out, my money would be on CLC. Especially now that DeSantis has committed himself to the gubernatorial race. I wouldn't rule out a longshot run by some of the cooler State Legislators, like Halsey Beshears (who absolutely should've run for Agriculture Commissioner this year but stayed out to focus on his business) or Jeff Brandes.

Carlos Lopez-Cantera isn't running.

Not with Scott basically running, no. But that isn't the question at hand. The question is, who runs if Scott stays out.

former Florida secretary of state Kathrine Harris.

Former Senator George LeMieux? Ted Yoho?

LeMieux is old news, but Yoho could run. He would be a losing candidate though.

Jacobin is of course right - with Scott in the Senate race, there really is no room for anyone else. If he were to drop out, the seat would be pretty safe for Nelson because there are no alternatives who can put together the necessary ground game quickly enough.
