Incumbent Democratic Senator Bill Nelson is running for re-election to a fourth term. He is being challenged by incumbent Republican Gov. Rick Scott. One of many races rated as `` Tossup '' in the 2018 Senate elections, the race has attracted millions in campaign spending, from both the campaigns and from outside groups.

Republican President Donald Trump also held a positive approval rating of 49 % - 47 % in Florida as of August 2018. Trump won the state in 2016 by 1.2 % over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Nelson is being challenged by term - limited Governor Rick Scott, who has contributed more than $86 million of his own fortune into two successful gubernatorial bids in 2010 and 2014. Despite having won re-election in 2012 by a 13 % margin, Nelson is seen as vulnerable ; he is the only statewide elected Democrat in the state. Nelson has been described as a `` low - key centrist '' that may not be able to energize progressive voters. Scott announced his candidacy on April 9, 2018, weeks after his last regular 60 - day legislative session as governor. Scott was encouraged by President Trump to enter the Senate race. During the campaign, Scott has sought to avoid mentioning President Trump and at times criticized or distanced himself from actions of the Trump administration, whereas in the past used his friendship with Trump to boost his profile and been an early and vocal supporter of Trump in 2016. According to The Tampa Bay Times, Scott speaks to President Trump every one or two weeks. Trump endorsed Scott in his Senate bid. As of the first quarter of 2018, Scott held a 54 % - 35 % approval rating among his constituents, with a majority of Florida voters believing the state is moving in the right direction. Both Nelson 's and Scott 's responses to Hurricanes Irma and Michael, which made landfall in September 2017 and October 2018 respectively, were closely watched during the campaign season. Additionally, an undetermined number of Puerto Ricans, a largely Democratic voter demographic, have moved to Florida after the island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria in September 2017. Whether they will affect the race is unclear. Democratic primary As both of Senator Nelson 's primary opponents failed to qualify for the ballot, no Democratic primary was held.

According to The Cook Political Report, the race is one of the 10 most competitive U.S. Senate races in the nation. It has also been described as the most expensive U.S. Senate race in the country. Scott 's involvement in a large Medicare fraud case has stirred controversy during the general election campaign. Scott responded with ads accusing his opponent Bill Nelson of having cut Medicare benefits and stolen from Medicare ; fact - checkers found that both of Scott 's assertions were `` mostly false. '' During the campaign, Scott characterized Nelson as a `` socialist '' ; PolitiFact described the assertion as `` pants - on - fire '' false. Gun control is a key issue for this race. The election comes less than nine months after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, the deadliest school shooting in American history that killed 17 people. Senator Nelson has also mentioned the Orlando nightclub shooting that occurred in June 2016 and killed 49 people, stating that `` nothing was done '' by Governor Scott 's administration. In the wake of Stoneman Douglas, Scott has raised the age to purchase a gun from 18 to 21, set a three - day waiting period to purchase assault - style weapons, and banned bump stocks, moves that Nelson describes as `` doing the bare minimum. '' The National Rifle Association has come out against Scott 's legislation. Environmental issues are additionally taking a prominent role in the race. Governor Scott and his administration have been heavily criticized for his weakening of regulations designed to protect the environment, even going as far as to instruct the FDEP not to use the words `` climate change '' or `` global warming '' in official reports. Because of this, Scott has been blamed for the state 's worsening algae blooms, even being dubbed `` Red Tide Rick '' on social media. Scott blames Nelson and Congress ' general inefficiency on the toxic blooms.
