as well as Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried. Crist has already jumped into the race, with both Fried and Demings expected to follow. Fried put out a video on Wednesday teasing a June 1 official announcement.

DeSantis has attracted national attention as a potential 2024 presidential contender because of his aggressive push to reopen the state following the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as his move to crack down on violent protesters with an "anti-riot" bill. DeSantis, whose own bid for governor was boosted by an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, governed initially as a moderate after his narrowly win in 2018.

Taddeo, a Miami Democrat who ran as Charlie Crist’s running mate in the 2014 governor’s race, said her polling “shows some clear opportunities we have as Democrats and some weaknesses we must tackle. Governor DeSantis is on the wrong side of critical issues, especially business mandates on public health measures and his continued efforts to make it harder to vote by mail.”

But Tyson, who constantly tracks Florida’s voters, contends that Democrats — who lost across the board in races in Florida in 2020 — are misreading the electorate in the state.

It's hard to believe anyone could have a favorable view of the job DeSantis has done...of course the polls were conducted by a Republican pollster and the Florida Chamber of Commerce, so I'm not putting much stock in their being unbiased and accurate.

He is such a

Ok but do we really want to take the opinion of people who choose to live in Florida and voted DeathSentence in office?

deSantis is a moron but like that trump guy, he's slippery.

Unfortunately, too many people in Florida are old and only watch Fox. This Junior DJT is a complete and absolute failure. Get rid of him, please.
