FIERY FLORIDA SENATE DEBATE

 By all means, see for yourself

 


✓ Media reaction (The Hill): 

> The race between Rubio and Demings has often taken a back seat to Senate contests in other battlegrounds such as Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania. But Tuesday night’s debate made clear it’s anything but a sleepy affair.

> Demings, a rising Democratic star, has struggled to chip away at Rubio’s base of support in the way she’ll need in order to win in November. Tuesday’s debate doesn’t seem likely to change that.

> Overall, the debate put into stark relief the animosity between Rubio and Demings, making public the tensions that have been simmering between the two politicians for months.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and his Democratic rival, Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), faced off in a bitter debate on Tuesday that underscored the stakes of the U.S. Senate contest in one of the country’s most unpredictable states.

The debate — the only face-to-face showdown between the two candidates — touched on everything from abortion rights to Florida’s wavering property insurance market and gave both candidates ample opportunity to go on the offensive mere weeks before Election Day.

Here are five takeaways from the Senate debate in Florida.
