But in Florida, it's a slow start, to say the least.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is running again. But leading state Democrats have been crickets about whether or not they're interested in going against him.

NBCEven Donald Trump's personal lawyer could not defend his deranged social media posts about a potential indictment, admitting on Sunday that a picture of Trump holding a baseball bat next to a photo of the Manhattan District Attorney's head was "ill-advised."
"I'm not his social media consultant," lawyer Joe Tacopina told NBC's Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on Sunday. "I think that was an ill-advised post that one of his social media people put up and he quickly took down when he realized the rhetoric and the photo that was attached to it."
The Friday post stitched together two photos: One of Donald Trump holding a baseball bat and another of District Attorney Alvin Bragg's head. The image, which was later deleted, led to widespread criticism from legal experts who warned the composite image could serve as obstruction of justice or a call for violence.

Evgenia Novozhenina/ReutersAn American businessman convicted in Russia of a high-profile embezzlement case is no longer in the country, according to his lawyers.
Michael Calvey was sentenced in August 2021 to a five-and-a-half-year suspended sentence in a penal colony after being found guilty of embezzling around $34 million from Siberia's Vostochny Bank. At a hearing to appeal his conviction in a Moscow court Friday, Calvey's lawyer said his client was no longer Russia.
Attorney Timofey Gridnev said Calvey had planned "to attend the trial, but due to difficulties in obtaining a visa in the current circumstances, it's difficult for him to come," Russia's RBC News reported. The Daily Beast has contacted Gridnev for comment.

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank are the largest bank failures since the 2008 financial crisis, which prompted lawmakers to pass legislation to increase regulations on banks and other financial institutions. But during the Trump administration, a number of Democrats joined Republicans in Congress to weaken laws including Dodd-Frank, the landmark regulatory reform passed in the wake of the crisis. Executives from Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were among those who successfully lobbied to weaken rules that may have prevented their collapse. The fallout from the bank failures now threatens to spread to other financial institutions, and the Biden administration has taken extraordinary steps to guarantee all deposits in the two failed banks and to shore up the rest of the sector in what many are criticizing as a bailout of rich bank customers. For more, we speak with The Lever's David Sirota and banking law professor Mehrsa Baradaran, whom progressive groups at one point backed as the Biden administration's pick for comptroller of the currency, an influential regulator of banks.
