The Democrats' Top Vote-Getter

摘要

It never looked great for Bill Nelson. The three-term Democratic senator from Florida and his lawyer, Marc Elias, waged a bitter post-election battle against the outgoing governor, Rick Scott. Despite two recounts and important courtroom victories for Nelson, Scott will join fellow Florida Republican Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate in January.Nonetheless, Elias has reason to be pleased. The man labeled the Democrats' "best Election stealing lawyer" in a tweet by President Trump suffered a rare loss, yet he may have boosted his party's chances in Florida in 2020, when the perennial photo-finish battleground state could again determine the next president.
