"Black-ish" actress Jenifer Lewis called Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a liar and went off on a bizarre rant about Rosa Parks and Emmett Till at a rally for Democratic Senate nominee Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., on Tuesday.

"This speech is going to go around the world," a jubilant Lewis exclaimed at Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens before denouncing Rubio as a "lie" and accusing him of being willing to "cheat and steal."  

Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio should win a third term in the Senate, according to polling firm Victory Insights. But even a week out from the election, his lead over Democrat Val Demings falls within polling’s margin of error.

The pollster, which has an office in Naples, finds almost 50% of likely Florida voters plan to vote for Rubio in the General Election. Under 46% intend to support Demings. Nearly 5% remain undecided, but if those numbers prove true, Demings would need to bring in all those voters and then would win only by inches.

The one-hour debate Tuesday night between Florida’s Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and his Democrat challenger, Rep. Val Demings, the only debate to be held in this race, probably didn’t change many minds. In fact, save for political junkies, very few minds likely tuned in.

The two major party candidates in one of the most high-profile Senate races of the year litigated hot button issues for an hour in Lake Worth in their only scheduled debate.

After months of back and forth through ads and interviews, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and his Democratic challenger, U.S. Rep. Val Demings, finally were able to make their arguments in person, and they made the most of the opportunities from opening bell to close.

Senator Marco Rubio affirmed Tuesday evening that he’s not only an anti-abortion absolutist — he’s also a Second Amendment extremist. Facing questions about gun control during his debate with Democratic challenger Val Demings, the Florida Republican suggested background checks were useless, called the modest safety bill some in his own party supported “crazy,” and turned his back on a measure he backed in the wake of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas school shooting in 2018.

Florida Democratic Senate nominee Val Demings is using what she calls "one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history" to solicit campaign contributions in her race against Republican Marco Rubio.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., seized on remarks about abortion that his Democratic Senate opponent Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., made in a recent interview, giving his take on why the congresswoman stopped short of giving a precise time at which she believes abortion should not be an available option.

Demings had told CBS Miami over the weekend that she believes in a right to abortion up to the point of viability, but when asked if that meant 24 weeks, which is roughly the standard that has been used in the past, she would not commit to that mark or any other.

Marco Rubio may be a bumbling excuse for a US senator, but when it comes to Florida politics, he’s no fool. A career politician and failed presidential contender, Rubio is campaigning this year for a third term as Florida’s senior senator. And he’s running scared.

Democrats are seeing new glimmers of hope for their chances of ousting Sen. Marco Rubio (R) in Florida after months of hand-wringing over just how aggressively they should pursue his seat.

Democratic candidate Rep. Val Demings is leading GOP Sen. Marco Rubio in Florida's tight U.S. Senate race, while Nikki Fried tops opponents as most likely candidate to challenge Gov. Ron DeSantis in the November midterms, according to a new poll.

The University of North Florida released the results of a survey Tuesday that revealed Florida voters' choices for the state's gubernatorial and Senate primary races, while also looking ahead to November.
