Re: “Hopefully DeSantis will win but the shame is that Gilliam has a chance.”

The demographics in Florida favor the Democrats.

If they get their core voters to the polls, Gillum and incumbent Senator Nelson (D) will win.

42% of Florida residents are Black or Hispanic.

Even with the “Conservative” Cubans, just 40% of Hispanics are Republicans.

White Florida voters are also problematic.

A substantial number are Jewish or migrated to Florida from New York and New Jersey, and they are heavily Democrat.

All true. But, a lot of these folks moved to Florida fleeing the high taxes in the Northeast. Gillum wants to increase Florida taxes by $2.6 billion among other things. Not sure all of the Dem votes in FL are going to Gillum. Plus, the Repubs have a 53,000 vote lead in the early voting (mail-ins).

That is what happens when migrants flood your state and people move in from the leftists coastal areas to experience the good life. Problem is that their politics will ruin it sooner or later.

Florida has had almost 100% of statewide offices going on two decades. Nelson is the only statewide Dem in the past 10 years.
