The primary elections for Republicans and Democrats took place on August 23 to finalize candidates for the November election. [1] [2] Rubio won the uncontested Republican primary, while incumbent U.S. Representative Val Demings won the Democratic nomination. Rubio became the first Republican to win re-election to a third term in Florida history. [3]
