GOP's Rick Scott Flips Fla. Senate Seat Over Dem Sen. Nelson

Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott flipped the Senate seat by defeating incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., according to a Fox News projection.

Voters on Tuesday went to the polls in congressional elections for 35 of 100 seats in the U.S. Senate. The Democratic Party needed to pick up two seats to wrest control of the chamber from the Republican Party, but the Republicans picked up four seats, including Scott's in Florida.
