Last night was the first and only debate in Florida between Marco Rubio and Congresswoman Val Demings. Politico describes this race as one that is being “largely ignored” by national Democrats, even though Demings has raised significant amounts of campaign cash and run active advertising efforts across the state. As with most debates, all of the typical topics were covered, including gun control, climate change, and abortion. The abortion debate was the portion that probably produced the most fireworks, but Demings came off as sounding a bit desperate, continually insulting Rubio and accusing him of being a “liar.” For his part, Rubio focused on Demings’ congressional record and painted her as being out of step with the voters.
