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.

“spell check” is one reason I’m confident artificial intelligence (Mr. Data from Star Trek) is not possible.
If he runs for president, the dems will throw the entire kitchen sink factory at him. There will be a cunning array of stunts me too’ing him, including little boys. There will be photos of him with hunter biden at epsteins island. It will be non stop at volume 11.
Nazi Dems would be wise to check off most races going forward including House & Senate. They’re toast or we could say dead in the water.
That sounds like good news, but I have to wonder why.
Democrats don’t do anything without a reason. And it’s not like them to give up when they can steal an election.
They’re giving up because FL’s election reforms have cut off their ability to cheat-to-win. They almost pulled it off with Gillum. He probably only received a fraction of the votes tallied. The rest were fraud.
Florida Governor DeSantis came uncomfortably close to losing to Gillian.
Amazing how close it was!
NO KIDDING!!! FRIGHTENING!
Maybe Texas can learn from Florida.
Going Dem-lite only ends one way.
