Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) raised $1 million for her nascent Senate bid in the day after she announced that she plans to challenge Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in 2022, according to a person familiar with the campaign’s fundraising.
The $1 million figure is staggering for a candidate, especially in a year without any regularly scheduled federal elections. It’s an early sign of momentum for Demings, a rising Democratic star who is seen as the favorite in the budding primary to take on Rubio next year.
But with 10 media markets and a population that exceeds that of New York state, Florida is known for expensive campaigns, putting pressure on Demings to quickly amass a warchest that can compete with that of Rubio, whose Senate campaign reported having nearly $4 million on hand at the end of March.

Just what the Senate needs, another perpetually angry liberal.
There must be someone in Florida that does not want to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty like Rubio does.
I just moved to Florida to get away from the freakazoids running the communist states. liberals are like locust, they destroy one field and move on to the next. Leaving total devastation behind them.
I believe Demmings had a handgun stolen out of her car.
Problem, Florida is no longer a swing state, it is a red state
The media still needs to portray it as one so they can sell expensive ads
The million probably came from Media Execs trying to make the race look competitive so they can make 100’s of millions of dollars
Now I see that the money is that stolen from American taxpayers and laundered via gift contracts, then funneled to the DNC.
If you want to gift the Dems another Senate seat, just try Primarying Rubio and see what happens.
We are a red state but there are still a lot of idiots convinced that Biden is amazing and DeSantis is a disaster. I know too many of them. Fortunately we have them outnumbered.
Agreed. Rubio is imperfect but he’ll win. He’s more good than bad despite his pathetic sellout on amnesty years ago. He’s actually excellent on some issues. Freedom vs communism for one.
She will get Beto-style money.
Her service weapon was stoled wight outta her car pawked at her own hoam. BTW - her husband was county shewwiff at da tyme.
Inside word is that the stoled weapon was recovered in connection with some other kwime. I sure wish the pwiviwege was spwead awwound more eekwall lyke.
They are going after Rubio and DeSantis. They plan to run fraud in Dade and Broward counties.
One million....PFFFTTT
Big deal
Re-electing Amnesty Senators will get us amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority.
Can you see past your nose?
Zuker or one of his buddies.
Can you?
Amnesty is the opposite of MAGA.
It is the abandonment of the rule of law and the surrender of the country.
It will lead to a permanent Democrat majority and the loss of our country.
“I bet this million dollars is coming from New Yorkers moving to FL. “
or a Soros owned institution or PAC! It sounds like a Soros shenanigan.
True. But, I’m shocked how many of my kid’s twentysomething friends think DeSantis is great and the vast majority of them are not typical Republican voters.
The COVID lockdowns and the draconian efforts to get young adults and children to bend the knee to the vaccine overlords has created something of a classical liberal awakening in Millenials and Zoomers in Florida (and maybe in other states too, IDK). The natural distrust of government by young people - which has largely been forgotten the last couple decades - seems to be coming back in vogue in these age cohorts...and that’s a good thing for liberty-minded people.
If you look through my kids (particularly my daughters’) Instagram feeds, they’re full of their friends sharing ‘Jail Fauci’ and ‘vaccine Marxists’ memes. It’s really quite something.
