Democrat Val Demings is reportedly considering a 2022 Senate run to attempt to topple the Republican incumbent Senator Marco Rubio.
As Fox News reports:
Democratic Rep. Val Demings of Florida is planning to launch a 2022 Senate campaign to challenge two-term Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, two sources familiar with the congresswoman’s plans confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday.
Demings’ run would give the Democrats a nationally known and high-profile candidate in the race against Rubio, who was first elected to the Senate in the 2010 Tea Party wave. Rubio, who grabbed plenty of national attention during his 2016 GOP presidential run, has already filled his campaign coffers ahead of his 2022 reelection bid.
Demings, who is Black, spent nearly three decades in law enforcement, rising through the ranks to become the Orlando Police Department’s first female police chief. Last year she was seriously considered as now-President Biden’s running mate…
And NRSC communications director Chris Hartline told Fox News that “Senator Rubio will have a big win no matter who the Democrats throw at him.”
Demings has reportedly spent the last several months considering whether or not to challenge GOP Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022 but has apparently moved on to a race she and her circle consider to be more winnable.
Great. She can go down hard. Probably literally.
Isn’t Val Demings husband mayor of Orlando??
Is that how she worked her way up thru the ranks to Chief of Police??
I think Marco should clean up his act and become an actual “Public Servant” or be primaried out by one.
Yes, it would be nice to have a non RINO in Rubio’s seat. That’s for damn sure.
If voted either one you’d be just as justified to vote in the Russians and China.
It’s a no brainer
Tie her connections to BLM, which is a terrorist organization, aligned with Hamas promoting the overthrow of Israel
Sorry,….no democrats allowed, and why you ask? What democratic run city should I start with, the very thought of demings having anything to to with decision making is a nightmare of steroids.
We have more than enough dumb loser Democrats in office. Go away Val, we don’t need another one.
Considering the FACT that Rubio is a FIRST GENERATION descendant from the Castro regime and extremely popular with the Cuban/Latino populations of Florida and a darling to the majority of White Conservatives she is going to need all 16.5 million absentee ballots they will count for her.
so much for her ‘law enforcement’ background.
I hope Rubio wins.
The people of Florida are not stupid you think they will vote for this commission Retard??? Only if they use Dominion machines
Let’s play the race game, her being black and a woman does not automatically make her the best candidate for the Senate
“that would be the day” JW, Senator Marco Rubio is irreplaceable by angry mob left politicians so help us God America needs him always but specially at this time where our country is divided by the radical left.
Does Florida really want to go backwards with another socialist demorat? Come on guys.
So true Greta! I will vote fur Marco Rubio!
It is impossible to fathom the depths the LEFT will go to hold power. If we are suppose to be the elite race who have all the advantages it is about time certain people took a GOOD LOOK AT THEIR ACTIONS. I see no reason to mention that Val Demmings is black and neglecting to mention that MARCO RUBIO is Hispanic. IT IS NOT SUPPOSE TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
Gotcha! ..today’s “Congress” Politicians…which one will push the real VOTE! who knows?.. Constituents”….See! in election day..you need only one VOTE!……………..
Charlie G/Sr……………………….The USA!
I was hoping Rubio would be primaried, but I will vote for him over Demings any day.
Someone should ask her about the gun she lost while serving as police chief.
Forget it! Enough of Stacey Abrams, Mad Maxine and Beetlejuice (Lori Lightfoot) and Joy Reid and other extremists You need good sensible honest people with integrity and respect for God, Constitution and decency
Anybody who might run on a ticket with Joe Blow must be a loser in my book. You go, Marco!
Just wait when Zuck friting berg send her at lease 500 mil for cove. Where all these wannabe are coming from Stacy, Obamure and Biden Ho must be very busy to dig them up.
