Both of Florida’s U.S. Senators are endorsing U.S. Rep. Laurel Lee for re-election to Florida’s 15th Congressional District, a slight to former President Donald Trump, who called on Republican candidates to challenge her in a Primary.
Two Republicans heeded Trump’s call — Jennifer Barbosa and James Judge, though both could struggle to gain much traction against an otherwise popular incumbent.
“Laurel Lee has been a great conservative partner in Washington as we fight to hold Congressional Democrats and the (Joe) Biden administration accountable for their disastrous policies that continue to fail Florida families, whether it be their tax-and-spend agenda that has caused skyrocketing inflation or dangerously allowing open borders,” U.S. Sen. Rick Scott said.
