Democrats Zero In on Texas and Florida Senate Races
“A few weeks ago, very few Democrats were thinking about the Senate campaigns in Florida and Texas, the only credible offensive targets for the party in 2024,” The Messenger reports.

Ted Cruz in Texas or Sen. Rick Scott in Florida to keep hold of the Senate in 2024.”
