The 2022 United States Senate election in Florida was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Florida.

Rubio was first elected in 2010, filling the seat of appointed Senator George LeMieux, and he had announced that he would run for reelection to a third term.[1] The primary elections for Republicans and Democrats took place on August 23 to finalize candidates for the November election.[2][3] Rubio won the uncontested Republican primary, while incumbent U.S. Representative Val Demings won the Democratic nomination. Rubio won the election, becoming the first Republican to win re-election to a third term in Florida history. This is the latest election in which Miami-Dade County voted for a Republican nominee for Senate, the last time being in 2010, when Marco Rubio ran for his first term.[4]
