Demings looks to emerge from Florida Senate primary race, eyeing November clash with Rubio

Rep. Val Demings is already looking beyond Tuesday's Florida Democratic primary, and toward a November showdown with incumbent Republican Senator Marco Rubio.

"My opponent believes in abortion bans with no exceptions, even in the case of rape, incest and sexual abuse. That’s why Marco Rubio needs to go," Demings tweeted the night before the primary. "It’s time."

Throughout her campaign, Demings has looked ahead to November and a matchup with Rubio, who will automatically be running in the general election because the GOP primary was canceled.
