SUMMARY: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis emphasized the need to bypass bureaucracy for businesses recovering from Hurricane Helene. At a Steinhatchee news conference, he supported local restaurant owner Linda Wicker, allowing her to use a donated food truck while her business is rebuilt. DeSantis activated the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program, offering $15 million for affected businesses, with applications due by November 24 or until funds run out. He noted that rescue operations will conclude but federal assistance is focused on western North Carolina.

Democratic ad campaign targeting Texas, Florida U.S. Senate races | National
SUMMARY: The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign targeting Senate races in Texas and Florida. U.S. Rep. Colin Allred challenges incumbent Ted Cruz in Texas, while U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell opposes incumbent Rick Scott in Florida. Although both challengers lack significant name recognition, Democrats believe they are competitive. The DSCC is ramping up efforts against Cruz and Scott, highlighting their controversial votes on budgeting issues that allegedly threaten Social Security. This comes after the DSCC invested $25 million in voter outreach and a prior $79 million advertising campaign targeting key Republican states.
