Speaking with E&E News and Politico, the Ford School's Barry Rabe advised that recent Florida hurricanes will likely impact the state's Senate race in the upcoming November elections. Commenting on Senate candidate Republican Rick Scott, Rabe declared, "You’ve got someone who’s been pretty big in Florida politics for some time, including two terms as governor, where he, to put it mildly, kind of walked away from the climate issue in any significant way... I don’t know that this moves the needle, but in a really close race like, apparently, we’re seeing play out, I think this is not a trivial matter."
