Gov. Rick Scott and Senator Bill Nelson face off Tuesday in first Senate debate

Miami, Fla. — Telemundo is hosting the first of three debates between Democratic Senator Bill Nelson and Florida's Republican Governor Rick Scott on Tuesday.

Scott is challenging the incumbent Central Florida Democrat for his Senate seat in November.

The debate will be recorded in the morning and broadcast at 7 p.m. on Telemundo stations in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Fort Myers, Tampa, and West Palm Beach markets. It is the only debate that will air in Spanish.

The one hour debate will be moderated by Telemundo 51 senior political reporter Marilys Llanos and Miami's NBC 6 new anchor Jackie Nespral.

The RealClearPolitics average of recent polls gives Nelson a slight advantage over Scott.
