Democratic Senate candidate Val Demings reminded a national audience of her vote for the Inflation Reduction Act. Moreover, she stressed Republican Sen. Marco Rubio voted the other way.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart, Demings, an Orlando Congresswoman, said she will show up to vote more often than the incumbent and cast votes that help Floridians.
“He does not like to come to work; we all know that now. And when he does, he hurts Florida,” she said. “So, we are looking out for everyday families and what they have to go through on this campaign trail.”
Pressed on poll results that show voters chiefly concerned with the economy, Demings raised her vote in Congress for the Inflation Reduction Act.
Of note, Rubio boasted at the time about his own vote against the measure in the Senate and attacked Demings for backing the high-priced bill.
“Val Demings once again put party politics over Floridians today, signing off on more audits and tax increases for working-class Floridians as families are struggling to get by,” Elizabeth Gregory, communications director for Rubio’s Senate campaign, said at the time. “This bill will do nothing to reduce costs of living, and Val Demings doesn’t seem to care.”
Demings, though, said on MSNBC that the legislation has tangibly helped Floridians of all income levels.
She also took a chance to hit Rubio for a poor attendance record in the Senate; he has missed nearly 10% of votes since being elected to the Senate in 2020.
“I am traveling the state from the Panhandle down to the Keys, talking to Florida about the things that matter to them,” Demings said.
“Certainly, we need to do everything in our power to reduce the cost for everyday working families, lower the cost for our seniors. That’s exactly what we did when we passed the Inflation Reduction Act.”

Okay Val so where is the “Inflation Reduction”? Brandon pissed it away with his free college BS. You are going to have to defend not only forty year high inflation, but fuel prices (the Saudi’s told Brandon to FO), defunding the police, Southern Border chaos, Ukraine chaos. Tough time to be a Democrat and trying to knock off an incumbent.

“The numbers are in: 2021 was the most profitable year for American corporations since 1950.” —Bloomberg
Inflation = RECORD CORPORATE PROFITS !!!
How is free college a problem? You hate free K-12, too? Reagan ended free college in US. Other countries have free college. Are you crying about all those free PPP loans? That money went to shareholders and CEOs who are spending it. Corporations set prices–not Biden!
What is Rubio’s plan to fight inflation? Other than just suck every penny that he can from workers, retirees, families, and shovel it to freeloading rich Takers.

Correct Impeach,
The inflation reduction act is a fraud.
No inflation reduction, drugs and meds cap being purported is false. It does not go into effect until 3 years or longer. Total false message.
It’s a green new deal extension. Anti carbon, John Kerry special.
It does nothing to stop inflation.
Oh yeah, we’ve supplied Ukraine with $80 billion fo date total, $80 billion. Thanks.

The Russians are brutal war criminals who steal land and convert democratic governments into authoritarian puppets. Of course a vile Trump supporter would not mind this. You people are not American anymore… just treasonous dogs.

The Ukraine war wouldn’t have happened had Trump won, even uber liberal Bill Maher said that is a legitimate thesis.
Hilarious a libtard saying treason, the Deep State coup attempt with the Russia Hoax was exactly that, you are truly the enemy within.

Don’t you find it interesting that Putin waited until Trump was out of office to begin his massive build up of military forces and then invade Ukraine while that idiot Biden was CIC? Put me down as someone that says he waited because he respected Trump and then took full advantage of an incompetent leader of the US to begin his war plan.

Don’t you find it interesting that Putin waited until Trump stole classified documents? You don’t know for a fact that after losing in 2020, Trump didn’t give Putin information that made Putin believe that invading Ukraine would be safe for him. Maybe the invasion was a threat showing how serious Putin is about using whatever secrets HairHitler gave him.

No one questions that Putin and Russians are hideous. The issue is America’s being dragged into a war, $80 billion later. Zelensky declared nuc first strike, after potus dum wit, cried Armageddon.
Corsin once again confuses, distracts from the outlined matter.
This naming of the act is a fraud, like corsin. No inflation reduction, Dum Dumings is a liar.
Corsin is ignorant and proves it. His ultimate motive is it make it about #45. It’s not, it’s about Dumings failure.
Dumings loses, she’s not on Marcos level. Corsin is a menace.

What drugs are you on that you’ve been dragged into a war? have you been drafted or are you just another Russian coward pretending to be an American?
Putin invaded Ukraine because Zelensky booted his cronies out of Ukraine who like the cowards that they are fled to Belarus and thought Biden would just roll over.
Maybe someday you’ll actually be an American,

Shut the hell up you idiot, get the toilet paper out of your ass.
Yes, $80 billion later in. U S tax monies. How many billions we giving to a non ally, non nato member. How much corruption we going to accept in Ukraine? How much corruption have Biden and Dems engaging in Ukraine?
Zelensky told Nato to have a first strike on Russia of nucs. Biden says we at nuclear Armageddon. How ridiculous is Biden?
How stupid are you Haney? Shut the hell up.

There is no inflation reduction In this spending bill. That’s a crock of Adam schiff! Just a lie.
The Dummycrats have authorized, spent $8 trillion in new spending since Biden was sworn in.
Our nat deficit is $31 trillion now.
And we’ve provided $80 billion in arms, aid to Ukraine.
No accountability. And we are at nuclear Armageddon per this deficient potus.

Yup, why doesn’t Clown Biden call it the Cure for Cancer Act while he’s fantasizing…….inflation is mainly because of his idiot energy policies that increased gas prices 3-4X.

Oil companies are refusing to drill on their 1,000+ leases right now because shareholders insist on waiting for higher profits before investing $$ in drilling, despite RECORD OIL COMPANY PROFITS!!! Republicans are also refusing to support an Oil Company Windfall Profits Tax. That’s why your gas costs more!
Would be great to hear how Republicans like Marco plan to force oil companies to drill on the 1,000+ leases that they are holding onto.
Mr. Haney

Wrong again halfwit. Get an education where you might learn that US oil and gasoline are prices according to global markets which Republicans allowed to happen under Bush43.
And for extra credit halfwit, let us know when the President started controlling prices. Apparently the fact that US oil producers are enjoying record profits hasn’t reached your brainpan yet.

@Impeach Biden: He did that so his Russian assets in the United States would make the argument that you just made. Putin knows that a far right party in the USA will cause chaos which the GOP is and will continue to be.
