Senate seat, amendments on the line in Florida elections | Florida
SUMMARY: On Tuesday, Florida voters will decide on two important ballot initiatives—recreational marijuana legalization and abortion rights—alongside a competitive U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent Rick Scott and Democratic challenger Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.

Amendments 3 and 4 enjoy strong backing, with recreational cannabis at around 60% support, and the abortion rights amendment close to 58%. Both initiatives have raised significant funds, totaling $256 million, primarily from notable organizations and donors in the respective causes.
