President Biden visited Surfside Thursday, where search and rescue teams were continuing the painstaking task of searching the rubble of the partially collapsed Champlain Towers South condominium building.
The list of confirmed dead is growing, and so are calls for answers as to how the building could have collapsed.
Emergency personnel from across the state have converged on Surfside to pitch in on the huge rescue and recovery effort. And lawmakers from across the aisles have also united to help support that effort.
As he has so often in the past, Alan Grayson is itching for a fight. For the second time, he is about to run against Florida’s incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.
Grayson, 63, a pugnacious, progressive and former three-term representative from Orlando, is almost certain to join the Democratic challenge to Rubio in a race that is expected to cost more than $50 million. Central Florida Cong. Val Demings is planning to join the race, and another area Congress member, Rep. Stephanie Murphy, is also considering joining the race.
Grayson is already in his trademark full attack mode, and his target is Rubio, rather than any of his Democratic rivals.
