Stephanie Murphy Weighs Challenge to Rubio


February 24, 2021 at 5:13 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

“Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) is seriously considering a bid to unseat Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) 2022 reelection, announcing Wednesday that she’s launching a statewide listening tour and has hired a top Democratic operative to manage the effort,” Politico reports.

“Murphy, 42, has been elected three times to one of Florida’s most competitive congressional districts in Orlando, and first won the seat by knocking out 12-term incumbent GOP Rep. John Mica when few thought she could. It was a giant-killer act that Democrats hope she can repeat if she takes on Rubio, widely seen as a hard-to-beat incumbent.”

A progressive doesn't have a snow balls chance in hell of beating Rubio. As a Floridian, I'd vote for my neighbor's dog if I thought it could beat Rubio.
