He won’t be missed.

After finishing a distant second in his bid for the Democratic nomination to run for Senate in Florida, Rep. Alan Grayson has few avenues for a political future in the state.

Fellow Florida Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy, who beat Grayson on Tuesday, was heavily favored by the party establishment, including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Grayson was defiant in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, saying “I’m not going to be endorsing Patrick Murphy for sure” and saying Murphy is a Republican, alluding to the fact Murphy changed parties shortly before running for Congress.

Grayson was first elected in 2008 in a wave of Democrats who came into office with Obama and he quickly aggravated people, with remarks like the one during the Obamacare debate that the Republican plan for health care was to “die quickly.”
