The Democratic Governors Association will not prioritize efforts to unseat Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) in light of the hefty costs of boosting a challenger and the slim odds of a Democratic win in the race, according to a Politico report.
The DGA, a political organization "dedicated to electing Democratic governors and candidates," has spent more than $15 million on the last two Florida gubernatorial elections, according to Politico. But Florida Democratic consultants in contact with the association told the outlet that the DGA is standing down ahead of the state's 2022 gubernatorial election, essentially surrendering the race to DeSantis.
The organization is occupied with defending Democratic incumbents this cycle, the consultants said, and lacks confidence that a Democratic challenger could topple DeSantis. The enormous costs of effectively advertising across Florida would be a major drain on the DGA's finances if it were to prioritize the state's election.
"I spoke to [the DGA] two weeks ago. … DeSantis is looking strong politically and financially," one consultant told Politico. "They might do some money, but they are not going the way they have been in the past. There are not going to be multimillion-dollar checks."
A DGA staffer told Politico the Florida race is not a priority during an election cycle in which Republicans hope to flip Democratic seats all across the country.

Just translates that the Democrats tried to steal FL with a ton of money in 2020 and don’t want to waste more on FL next time.
There are 32 of them that should be run out on a rail.
How anyone, including many on this forum, can continue to voice any kind of support for both Scott’s, Graham, Rubio, and all the others, is beyond me.
I’m waiting for the “even if they tend to be more moderate than you’d like, they’re reliable Republican votes” crowd and there are quite a few on here.
Whelp...it would appear that 19 Republican Senators are NOT RELIABLE REPUBLICAN votes. Graham being one of the worst.
And then we and NY are blessed with the woman from NY who stated that her vote was for the much needed money for infrastructure projects. Guess she didn’t get the memo that about 10% or less of the budget they all voted for went to infrastructure.
I don’t know...Democrats never stop fighting. (Don’t you wish that republicans had even one half of that will to fight?) If the Dems can’t beat him fair and square, I would expect multiple fake rape bombs going off a la Kavanaugh.
Time to move to Florida.
I’d almost wish they threw money away in Florida as opposed to elsewhere.
He would win against any challenger.
What about the gay black guy who was found naked and drugged in a hotel room?
