U.S. Rep. Val Demings made it official Wednesday she will challenge incumbent U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio next year.
Demings, an Orlando Democrat, has been in the U.S. House since 2017. Rubio, a West Miami Republican, is completing his second term in the U.S. Senate. It is time for someone to stand up and speak up for the people of Florida, Demings said Wednesday in chiding Rubio for voting against stimulus payments and lacking the courage to advocate for the state s residents.
Pollster Michael Binder said Demings entry into the race virtually guarantees another midterm election year of heavy voter turnout and big dollar-fundraising campaigns in the Sunshine State. In addition to the hotly-contested U.S. Senate race, he noted Florida will also be home to another barnburner gubernatorial campaign.
Florida Democrats are coming off one of their worst election cycles since Republicans took control of the legislative and executive branches more than two decades ago. But as potential candidates weigh runs for higher office, Democrats are staring at a tumultuous primary season that’s grown more complicated by the threat of redrawn congressional and legislative districts that favor Republicans, a fight they’ll wage in the Legislature next year with fewer members as some must resign to run in a special election for a congressional seat in January.
