(Anna Rose Layden\/Pool Photo via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:31 AM PT \u2013 Wednesday, September 7, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>GOP Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is prepared to slug it out against Democrat challenger Rep. Val Demings to retain his seat. In August, Demings trounced her three primary opponents winning 85 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Demings has served three terms in Congress and was the chief of Orlando police department from 2007 to 2011. However, despite her law enforcement background, the Fraternal Order of Police and multiple Florida sheriffs have put their weigh behind Rubio. This is likely due to Deming\u2019s close ties to \u201cdefund the police\u201d Democrats, who\u2019s policies have ushered in crime waves throughout America\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe other candidate in this race, however, Val Deming\u2019s turned her back on her profession and she stood with the soft on crime crowd in Washington D.C.,\u201d stated Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey. \u201cAnd in doing so, put our citizens and our law enforcement officers at risk. For someone who claims to have been a cop and to have worn the badge; what she did in Washington D.C. to support criminals forever tarnished any badge she ever wore. And sadly, she did it to further her own political career.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Demings has been a large proponent of \u201cre-imagining policing\u201d and supported the Minneapolis City Council\u2019s move to disband its police department. On the economic front, Demings has been a supporter of the large spending packages that preceded the current economic recession. The representative has specifically touted the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, which she says is doing exactly what it was intended to do.<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sen. Rubio, by contrast, has positioned himself as a fiscal conservative who claims Democrats\u2019 spending has done nothing but cripple the working class.<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Demings is a vocal supporter of abortion, believing the procedure should be performed until the point of birth and funded by the government. Rubio has called her stance outrageous. He supports the right to life, but recognizes the statute of state\u2019s rights guaranteed by the Constitution.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI am in favor of laws that protect human life,\u201d stated Rubio. \u201cI do not believe that the dignity of worth of human life is tied to the circumstances of their conception, but I recognize that\u2019s not majority position. And therefore, I\u2019ve always said I support bills that have exceptions. \u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Republican Party\u2019s de facto leader is the most polarizing topic for the two candidates. Demings was an impeachment manager against President Donald Trump and has claimed Rubio\u2019s opposition to the Mar-a-Lago raid means he doesn\u2019t truly back the blue.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio, however, has come out against the raid while labeling it a gross overreach by the Biden DOJ to knee cap a political opponent.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis raid was about trying to disqualify a likely future election opponent, about trying to intimidate Republicans who oppose the left and about creating a distraction from Biden\u2019s failures,\u201d said the Florida lawmaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although he ran against Trump for president in 2016, Rubio shares his strong stances on the border and foreign policy with a commitment to economic de-regulation. Meanwhile, Demings is a proponent of Biden\u2019s so-called green agenda and large government spending plans.<\/p>\n<p>Floridians will choose which view is preferable for the Sunshine State when they head to the polls.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/colo-senate-race-among-tightest-polling-races\/\">Colo.
