A Democratic super PAC is injecting millions of dollars into the Florida Senate race in a bid to retire Sen. Marco Rubio.
CNN reported that Harry Reids super PAC, the Senate Majority PAC, is injecting millions of dollars into the Florida Senate race to help Rep. Patrick Murphy in his bid to defeat Marco Rubio:
This race is closing, spokesman Shripal Shah told CNN. Voters know that Marco Rubio is only looking out for himself and theyre going to hold him accountable for pushing a self-serving agenda at their expense.
This afternoon Senate Majority PAC made a seven-figure transfer to Floridians for a Strong Middle Class, a Florida based Super PAC supporting Patrick Murphys campaign. The move comes hours after Senate Majority PAC announced a record fundraising haul $19.3 million covering the pre-general reporting period (October 1st thru 19th) that will be filed with the FEC today.

Democrats have been divided over the strategy for handling the Florida race. Sen. Chuck Schumer canceled future spending in Florida to direct resources into Senate races in North Carolina, Indiana, and Missouri. Reid sees an opportunity to knock out Rubio and eliminate him from presidential contention in 2020.

YES! We need Rubio and Burr OUT. That will be the only way we can seat a full Supreme Court.

Good. Rachel Maddow's exposé the other night may have had a hand in this wise decision.
