Florida House of Representatives
U.S. Senator from Florida
The2016 United States Senate election in Florida was held on November 8, 2016 to elect a member of theUnited States Senate to represent the State ofFlorida , concurrently with the2016 U.S. presidential election ,other elections to the United States Senate in other states,elections to theUnited States House of Representatives , and variousstate andlocal elections . The primary elections for both the Republicans and Democrats took place on August 30, 2016.[ 1]
IncumbentRepublican SenatorMarco Rubio ran for another term, but faced well-funded Republican primary opposition after initially announcing he would not seek re-election to his Senate seat. He had openly considered whether to seek re-election or run for president in 2016.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
However, in April 2015, Rubio announced that he wasrunning for president and would not seek re-election.[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] GOP presidential primary before he would have to qualify for the 2016 Senate primary ballot, for which the filing deadline was June 24, 2016.[ 10] [ 11]
On June 13, 2016, despite his previous statements that he would not run for re-election to his Senate seat, Rubio "seemed to open the door to running for re-election," citing the previous day'smass shooting in Orlando and how "it really gives you pause, to think a little bit about your service to your country and where you can be most useful to your country."[ 12] [ 13]
On August 30, the Republican Party nominated Marco Rubio, and the Democratic Party nominated RepresentativePatrick Murphy . Rubio won with the largest raw vote total in Florida history (until Donald Trump broke the record in 2020), taking a greater percentage of the popular vote than Republican presidential nomineeDonald Trump , who won the state in the election. He is the firstRepublican Senator from Florida since1994 , and only the second withConnie Mack , to be reelected to a second term. Also,Mel Martinez 's victory in2004 marks the first time that Republicans had won one of Florida'sSenate seats three times in a row (Mack succeededLawton Chiles , a Democrat, and was succeeded by another Democrat,Bill Nelson ).
Marco Rubio won 48% of the Hispanic vote and 17% of the African American vote during this election, at the time considered an exceptional number for a Republican during a presidential year.[ 14] Texas Senator John Cornyn broke it in2020 .
Rubio would later win by a larger 16.4% margin in2022 , including winning a majority of Hispanic voters in Florida.
