Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell has tied Senator Bill Nelson to Washington
Talk about dirty
political tricks,
the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (a
republican), is forcing all senators to stay in Washington so that Bill Nelson
cannot meet with his constituents and Rick Scott is blaming Bill Nelson for not
meeting with his constituents
(Floridians)!

But
Nelson’s limited time on the trail has left him vulnerable to attack from Scott, who has spent the final months of his term in all-out campaign mode.

As
an intense, unforgettable end to September in the U.S. Senate spills over
into October, it is a reminder of where Sen. Bill Nelson is likely to spend
much of the final weeks of campaign season:
In Washington.
Typically,
Senators are freed of their D.C. work by now to stump back home.
But the
high-stakes nomination of U.S. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S.
Supreme Court has required that senators remain in the nation's capital
through every twist and turn in the confirmation process.
And
Democrats
expect
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will keep the chamber in session for
most of, if not all of October,
meaning Senators in difficult reelection
battles, like Nelson, will have precious few days to stump in their home
states.
