It doesn't matter. Florida used to be evenly split, but Trump made Florida into MAGA HQ, and a million MAGA Traitors/Pedophiles moved here and skewed the entire electorate right. Besides, Florida elections have been fully rigged since 2000. No Democrat wins unless the MAGAs allow it, in a few districts, just for appearances.
The last Democratic stronghold in Florida, the Central Region around Orlando and the I-4 corridor, has been under attack by DeSantis for years, yanking duly elected politicians out of office for lame reasons, and replacing them with his own hand-picked stooges.
One replaced prosecutor, Monique Worrell, was yanked soon after her election, and replaced with a stooge, who did a terrible job, so she ran for re-election, and not only won with 2/3 of the pissed off voters, but DeSatan's private stooge lost his own primary against another Republican, tried to run as an Independent, and got crushed in embarrassing and humiliating fashion.
He's also replaced the local sheriff and police chief with guys who have long histories in immigration enforcement, in one of the biggest middle-class Hispanic populations in the nation.
The local sheriff got arrested for supposedly acting as protection for a "massive" $20 million gambling operation, that was so secret they registered their corporation with the state, had a "casino" full of colorful lighted gambling machines behind plate glass windows that were totally visible to the most high traffic main drag through town, and put lots of videos on Instagram and other Social Media. Clearly they weren't worried about keeping it quiet, almost as though they thought it was LEGAL. And why wouldn't it be? They have operations like that all over Florida!
But they arrested the sheriff, letting one of the local news channels in on it, so there would be footage. I was already suspicious about the entire thing, then the absolute corruption of it was driven home when I was watching the breathless pearl-clutching coverage of this MASSIVE $20 MILLION GAMBLING OPERATION® and they cut to a commercial...for the Hard Rock Casino, the massive multi-BILLION dollar operation 45 minutes up the highway. Nobody is gasping and pearl-clutching over them.
Then they kept the sheriff locked up, and denied him bail, then they locked up his wife, and denied her bail, as if they were child rapists and murderers. That meant that they couldn't tell their side of the story, while DeSatan and his operatives were spewing their propaganda on the news all day, every day.
Very little of this was covered in Florida news, other than locally, and what there was was definitely from the administration's side. I've seen and heard literally NOTHING from any national media about DeSatan's attacks on Central Florida, not even talk about him removing fairly elected Democrats, and replacing them with his hand-picked loyalists. The Democratic Party certainly didn't come to their defense.
This should be one of the biggest stories in the nation, and literally nobody outside of Central Florida knows it's going on, and it's been happening for YEARS.
