Florida's Demings planning 2022 run against Rubio rather than DeSantis, sources say
Fox News
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, 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. "Val is an impressive and formidable candidate whose potential entrance would make the race against Rubio highly competitive," a national Democrat with knowledge of the campaign told Fox News.More Related News
