Democrats are seeing new glimmers of hope for their chances of ousting Sen. Marco Rubio (R) in Florida after months of hand-wringing over just how aggressively they should pursue his seat.
Until recently, the Senate race drew little attention from national Democrats who have grown increasingly skeptical that their candidates can remain competitive in the Sunshine State after a spate of narrow, though still painful, losses. Top party officials instead looked to Senate contests in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — two states that President Biden carried in 2020 — as safer bets.

I think it’s “the hill” that’s what I think.
About as believable as msnbc IMO.
Well the guy is a terrible RINO but I’d hate to see a Democrat oust him.
Not with DeSantis' name on the same ballot. He's going to win in a landslide and drag every (R) candidate across the finish line with him.
“What do you guys think?”
It could happen. Rubio loses if conservatives want to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’, and Rubio wins if conservatives want Rubio to help stop the Biden agenda, including forced electric cars (regardless of Rubio’s many downsides).
...up to them.
I don't think so but . . . Rubio is such a disappointment to Conservatives.
Floridians with any sense are going to reelect Governor DeSantis and, I expect, hold their noses and send Rubio back to the Swamp for another term - where he will support amnesty and forcing 18-year old girls to register for the draft.
Rubio is not smart, but he doesn't have any courage.
What are the latest bone fide poll numbers, the link doesn't help.
A democrat would be better then rubio. rubio was part of the Russia hoax and has offered nothing but behind the scenes support for all things anti-Tea Party and anti-Trump. rubio is mitche’s bitch, nothing more. I’d be glad to see him gone, but I doubt that will actually happen here.
Won’t happen. Rubio is what he is but DeSantis and Trump will pull him through.
Rubio fooled the Tea Party and said all the right things.....said. He had no conservative track record and now we are stuck with him.
This is what happens when we "hold our nose" because we do not want a Dem in that seat now. Voting with short-term thinking rather than long-term strategy.
and to think he ran as a TEA party candidate in 2010 as well. what a snake in the grass he turned out to be
That's the way I see it, Rubio might be in some trouble without DeSantis, but he will have no problem with him.
Demings is outraising Rubio $48 million to his $36 million which is a pause for concern.
On the flip side, DeSantis has raised $172 million, more than 11 times the $15.3 million Crist’s political operation reported raising.
Rubio ahead by a hair.
Florida is turning deep red. Don’t believe any of it.
That’s why when it comes down to “the finals”, you must vote for the party (as weak and unprincipled as it may appear), not the candidate.
Rubio voted with Trump 87% of the time.
He's voted with Biden about 20% of the time, and mostly on veteran's issues that received broad bipartisan congressional support and never on Biden's major legislation.
I'll bet Demings votes with Biden at least 90% of the time.
STUPID BEYOND BELIEF.
Rubio wins by 10 pts
