MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Democratic candidate in the U.S. Senate race in Florida is spending much of the final stretch of the campaign in South Florida, where she served one term as a U.S. House Representative. 

After traveling throughout the state on the final full week of her campaign, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is focusing her time in the final few days of her campaign in and around Miami. 

On Friday, Mucarsel-Powell did some radio interviews and canvassed for votes in several communities, including some college campuses.

On Thursday night, Mucarsel-Powell held a couple of rallies in the Miami area, including one in Miramar, where there’s a large Haitian and Puerto Rican population.

She also held a rally at a senior center in Miami Gardens, a predominantly African-American community. There, she was joined by a rising star in the Democratic party, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

At the end of the rally, Mucarsel-Powell joined a group in prayer.

“I’m actually a very spiritual person, and I don’t talk about it all the time because we’re talking about the issues,” said Mucarsel-Powell. “But I do believe in the power of prayer, I do believe in the power that comes when people believe that something is possible. And we owe a lot to this community. It gives me the energy to finish this strong on Tuesday.”

Mucarsel-Powell, who is originally from Ecuador and was raised in Miami, believes she will get a good portion of the Hispanic vote because she believes many Latinos are frustrated with Sen. Rick Scott’s record.

“I think the Venezuelan community, the Puerto Rican community, have realized that he is a fraud, he lies to them, he makes false promises just to get back into power,” she said.

On Saturday Mucarsel-Powell is going to a teamsters picnic in Broward County, and a get-out-the-vote rally with Rep. Maxwell Frost in Miami. She also plans to be in Miami on Tuesday night as election results come in, when she hopes she can declare victory and win a U.S. Senate seat.
