FL is gone.

Yup. Desantis won MIAMI DADE by 11 points, and that effort was years in the making. Dems elsewhere continue to underestimate how broad his appeal is to their detriment.

His margins are about the same as Rubios. This just tells me FL is now red.

Floridian here - Florida seems now red, but I don't think irrevocably so. We aren't Arkansas. It's a redder voting pool plus Florida Democrats are incompetent and terrible. Demmings was a good candidate - she should have run for governor instead of Senate. But overall we have zero game in this state. It's like we want to lose. Where are our Hispanic candidates? Where is our massive GOTV operation? Where is our campaigning? Where is our Hispanic outreach? Crist - again? I mean I voted for him because I thought he had a better chance than Nikki Fried but it's not like he was some exciting candidate with massive energy and appeal - he's a guy who'd already lost the governorship once before. I liked him as my MOC, and did not have high hopes about his race against DeSantis.

Hopefully, one day, Florida Dems will get our acts together - but that day wasn't yesterday.

Same. I felt so dark and hopeless yesterday. Today, we have Senator Fetterman - and Lauren Boebert lost!!!

So grateful that Tony Evers and Gretchen Whitmer won. So grateful for a lot of things today. (Knock wood!!) Lot could still go wrong, but at least there are some bright spots - and a serious repudiation of MAGA lunatics.

Oh well.

What does “tougher on crime” mean?

+1

Only one party supported more funding to local police forces and it wasn't the GOP. Only one party wants to get some of the most lethal weaponry off our streets, and it isn't the GOP.

You'll only convince many of us when we don't have liberals in DA and other court positions who think it's fine to have low bail, cashless bail, and repeat criminals walking the streets to prey on innocent victims who are just trying to go about the business of living and get mugged, carjacked, raped, and murdered by those with a violent criminal history.

Depends on who you ask. I think good news, probably, since he won't have Kemp on the ticket bolstering his vote.

You started on the kool-aid early today.

Boebert is out!

Trump is no a movement but a distraction to the Republican party

OMG crime is DOWN long-term. Bail reform is not the issue. You are falling for serious misinformation if you think progressive prosecutors are the problem.

I think Ds are likely to leave Florida for dead in 2024. They are very unlikely to win it, and they've proved they don't need it. They can concentrate on shoring up WI, PA and MI, and then battling it out in AZ, GA, NV, and NC

Has Boebert’s race been called? NYT still had her winning when I looked early morning.

It’s been called by independent data analyst in Colorado that Bobert is out. I will wait patiently and optimistically!
She should’ve been a shoe in. Her district was a .9 Republican advantage and she started the race with 2 million in her campaign coffer.
She’s a loser, loser, loser!

What will 2023 look like for Boebert, I wonder. Didn't her Shooters Grill restaurant get shut down?
