The attack ads are already beginning.  I think Rubio knows that he's facing an uphill battle.

Marco Rubio attack ad likens Val Demings to the ‘socialist Squad’

'Floridians deserve to know, will Demings once again fall in line with the socialist Squad?'

Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio has released a new video slamming the voting record of Democratic U.S. Rep. Val Demings, who is running to unseat him next year.

The campaign ad, which went public Tuesday on Rubio’s YouTube page, comes only days after Florida Politics published the results of a poll showing Rubio holds just a 2-percentage-point lead over Demings.

In the 30-second video, Rubio’s campaign likens Demings, a former Orlando Police Department Chief, to one of the so-called “Squad,” a group of four Democratic Representatives known for being among the most progressive members of Congress. The name refers to U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib of New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Michigan, respectively. The group has since added two, including New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush.

The video first takes aim at President Joe Biden’s proposed spending plan, which could see $5 trillion over the next decade spent on U.S. infrastructure, environmental safeguards, social safety nets for working families and broader access to publicly funded education.............

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Is it an "attack" to accurately characterize your opponent?
