[SnowLabrador]

Can any Democrat make this competitive?

Likely R.

Likely/Safe R, honestly.

Can any Democrat make this competitive?

Debbie Wasserman Schultz or Corrine Brown

[Thunder98]

Safe R

[Roll Roons]

Democrats will spend a lot here but no way they win.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No, D's should learn from 2020 mistakes that when you have candidates over 50% they won't go down, Cornyn, Rubio, Ernst, Graham all have 50% approvals, it would be a waste of money to take support away from candidates in WI, PA, NC and GA

Marco Rubio's FB Announcement

Not even a week has gone by since our election and Florida’s HUGE red wave and Democrats have already placed me under attack. Their sights for the next two years will be set on turning Florida BLUE in 2022. There’s a reason my only two enemies are Communist China and the Radical Left. It’s because I’m not afraid to speak out against them and their radical schemes to ruin our country. I’m ready for this fight and I welcome it. If you’d like to join me in my fight to protect our country’s freedoms from the Radical Left click here >>>

Yeah, that sounds very much like a Run in 2022.

I doubt it, especially in a Biden midterm, at the best they find a semi serious candidate (Murphy / Crist) who is able to keep his losing margin under 7 points.

[Woody]

Safe R. The real question is if he can win Miami-Dade.

[Frenchrepublican]

It probably begins as a strong likely R race ; the big question is more if democrats are able to keep their loss in the single digits

Biden's team wants Val Demmings to run this race after being impressed with her vetting for VP, reportedly.

Wasn't Murphy the conventional wisdom pick?

Why would she do that ? It’s basically a suicide mission which would end her political career (see (Patrick) Murphy)

Val Deming's isn't beating Rubio, let's be real here. Val Deming's won't offset the losses that Biden substained in South Beach to overcome Rubio's appeal to Latinos

RUBIO 55
Val Demings 45

[Tekken_Guy]

Rick Scott is far easier to beat.

[Pollster]

Yeah, no compelling reason for either to run at the moment (and probably any moment through this cycle). Just sharing what I had read.

[ChiefFireWaterMike]

Likely R, far closer to safe than lean, if he loses, I'll change to socialist Florida.

D's targeted FL they thought the PR vote was going D for Statehood, well the Latino vote went R even with PR voting for Trump

Rubio isn't going to lose, but I doubt he wins by that much.

[Frenchrepublican]

Rubio isn't going to lose, but I doubt he wins by that much.

The FL democrats are already pretty incompetent at turning out their voters in presidential elections but in midterms under a democratic president they’re even worse (look at the 2014 races)

I seen an election that the Democrat lost by one percentage point. How does that square with:

the big question is more if democrats are able to keep their loss in the single digits

?

Murphy/Soto/Demings are gonna play a round of musical chairs. 3 of them but only 2 seats. So one of them might as well run statewide.

In 2014 Crist was able too keep things very close in the Gov race but other statewide democrats were trounced. (Crist was helped by the fact that he had a lot of crossover appeal in the Tampa area)

[Yellowhammer]

Likely R. Democrats need to be phoning up Shalala or Gillum to run. It's their only chance. I'm sure Nelson could make a comeback as well.
