Politico: Val Demings to run for Senate against Rubio
Florida Rep. Val Demings is planning to run for the U.S. Senate, rather than governor, providing Democrats with a big-name candidate to take on Republican Sen. Marco Rubio next year.
The Orlando Democrat was on Joe Biden’s shortlist as a possible running mate in 2020.
This announcement comes a few days after Rep. Demings tweeted this.
Leadership matters. Florida can do better. https://t.co/HdYbzHeEWi
