Rep. Val Demings' Senate run provides Democrats with a prominent, nationally recognized candidate to challenge Republican incumbent Sen. Marco Rubio, a formidable opponent, in next year's general election
The Florida Democrat sought to highlight her resume, which includes serving as a chief prosecutor of President Donald Trump's actions in office during his first impeachment trial and experience running a large city's police force.
In a video posted to his Twitter account Wednesday, Rubio sought to cast Demings as"ineffective and far-left and extremist" as he touted his"record of significant and commonsense achievements.""In 2022, Florida is going to have a choice between two very different candidates, and two very different records," he said.
