f Democrat Andrew Gillum defeats Republican Ron DeSantis, Floridians will make history by electing the state’s first black governor.

It’s an exciting prospect for many voters.

“There’s certainly a buzz with our brother, Andrew Gillum, running for governor,” said Anthony Rankine-Palmer, president of the Florida Atlantic University chapter of the nonprofit community service and civic engagement group Progressive Black Men. “People see a familiar face. They see someone who looks like them.”

totally ridiculous question.

DeSantis will be the next governor of Florida.

doesn’t matter if Gillum is orange with purple polka-dots, socialism and a soros puppet is not wanted and will not win.

The election has nothing to do with color, it has to do with their plans for the state.

I hope voters will consider that.

Compare it to the effect black socialist Obama had on the nation.

He set race relations back 50 years.

How bout this headline: Will race relations improve dramatically under a Socialist run, despotic administration that is hell bent on raising taxes by a billion dollars in Florida???

People move to FL in large part because of the lack of taxes.

If they establish a state income tax, they are destroying the state.
