I’m a bit surprised, it seemed that Demings was gearing up to run for Governor. Anyways, I’m glad to see there’s a top tier challenger for Rubio.
I wonder if this will impact Stephanie Murphy’s plans at all? Will they run against each other in a primary? And if so, who is favored to win the primary? In an ideal world, I’d like to see Demings run against Rubio in 2022 and Murphy run against Rick Scott in 2024 (or vice versa, I just want to have both of them in the senate and avoid a tough primary), but I’m not sure if that’ll happen (it was previously reported that Murphy will soon be announcing a campaign against Rubio, but her campaign denied this report).
