Will a former black female police chief from Orlando,FL win statewide in FL?

The Democratic nominees in previous FL statewide elections were moderate white male. We need to see how Val Demings does against Marco Rubio. If Demings loses by a narrow margin, will she run against Rick Scott who is an easier target than Rubio?

Dickhead Scott. I hate them equally. Val would only improve this Florida political cesspool. If any of you want to donate to a good midterm cause, please consider donating to Val’s campaign.

But delusional. I live in SWFL and for some reason beyond me old white people love Rubio. These are the same people who 40 years ago bitched continually about all the Cubans coming to Miami

The reich-winged Cubans are the old, racist white men now.

That is one delusional place. I wouldn't even waste time visiting Florida.

Love Val, but she has no chance vs Lil' Marco.

That state, thanks to the GQP is DEAD red in it's approach to voting: Cheat, rigg, and stay rigged to the GILLS. Florida's turning into fascist Russia. It's very homophobic, most in power love their pro-Authoritarian King DeathSantis running that state completely into the ground.
