WINDERMERE, Fla. (FNN) – After months of flirting with a possible bid for Sen. Marco Rubio’s seat, former Congressman Alan Grayson declared it for sure on Twitter Monday, attack ad and all.
“Grayson vs. Rubio – it’s on. Watch to see how we’ll beat Marco Rubio,” reads the tweet. “We can beat Rubio, and Keep the Senate Blue, if we work together. Join us!” Following the text, he shared a link to his campaign website.
“Corrupt Marco Rubio has spent years defrauding the people of Florida,” the ad begins.

Of course, Grayson, though he filed to run for the seat back in March, isn’t alone.
Most eyes in the state remain on U.S. Rep. Van Demings, who is currently fundraising for an anticipated run.
According to Florida Politics.com, Allen Ellison, a Wauchula Democrat who has run twice for Congress against U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, has raised more than $120,000 to run against Rubio and has $28,554 in cash on hand as of the end of March.
