Florida’s Republican incumbent Marco Rubio has been reelected to the U.S. Senate, beating his Democratic opponent in a key battleground state.
Rubio maintained a steady lead against the Democratic candidate, Rep. Val Demings, in the weeks leading up to election night. Demings had hoped to oust Rubio and improve the Democrats’ majority in the Senate.
The national outlook for control of the Senate shifted four weeks before election night, with Republicans favored to retake the majority, NPR previously reported.
