Rubio, seeking a third term in the Senate, leads in the polls, but Democrats are hopeful that Demings – a three-term U.S. House member and former police chief in Orlando – has the wherewithal to pull an upset.
Demings says the federal government needs to protect Florida from the ferocity of future hurricanes by acting to reduce the effects of climate change.Rubio responds by not talking about climate change, but saying that the federal government should focus on rushing emergency funds to local governments.Rubio looks towards a third term in the Senate as Demings seeks to flip it blue, hoping to give Democrats a leg up in the Senate.
"Demings will have money to compete and she's already at a better juncture than past statewide Democrats have been — and primary turnout this week was higher than expected for Democrats," Taylor said."But that doesn't change that Florida has become only more Republican in recent years, with a slightly redder hue despite its perpetual swing state status.
"Val Demings’ blind loyalty to Nancy Pelosi is exactly why Chuck Schumer hand-picked her to run against Marco," said the Rubio feed.
