Florida Democrats keep lining up behind U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla., in the 2016 U.S. Senate race but U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., continues to leave the door open to running.
The latest Florida Democrat to get in line behind Murphy was U.S. Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., who announced on Monday she was backing him in the Senate race. The seat is currently held by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Expected to launch a presidential campaign in the weeks to come, Rubio has said he won’t run for a second term in the Senate if he runs for president.[…]
Grayson spoke with Tyrel Ventura, the son of former Gov. Jesse Ventura, Reform-Minn., last week on the inaugural episode of “Watching the Hawks,” a show on RT America geared toward millennials
.
“Have you made a decision about running for the Senate?” Ventura asked.“No I haven’t,” Grayson said. “I’m waiting to see what the people want.”
“I think that the people would be very pleased to see you [in the Senate],” Ventura replied.
“You move to Florida; I want your vote,” a smiling Grayson said.
