Rep. Val Demings is primed and ready to snatch Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat after the Florida senator tweeted a reckless comment about the latest pandemic surge. As COVID-19 cases surge in his home state of Florida, Rubio tweeted that widespread concern over the Omicron variant was “irrational hysteria.”
Rubio downplayed the seriousness of the Omicron variant, as news reports warn of the speed at which the virus is spreading. But Rubio’s refusal to take the surge of the Omicron variant seriously could be an opening for Demings, his likely general election opponent.
Over 824,000 Americans, including over 62,000 Floridians, have died of Covid. We can stop this. Get vaccinated. Get boosted. And elect leaders who will take the pandemic seriously. pic.twitter.com/Al38a8S0xM
