Welcome to the Red Avatar community, 2016! With today's GOP, it should always be country over party.
Still, I don't believe FL is remotely in play and I'd advise Biden to triage the state. FL Dems were essentially killed by the 2018 elections. Things have become even worse for them since. While I don't think we're going to see a 2022 style wipeout at the presidential level this year, I don't think Biden can do anything to make FL competitive. His 2020 performance will probably look great by comparison this time around.
If Biden wants to expand the map, he should obviously go for NC and TX. Even if latter doesn't flip (which I don't expect either unless we see a dramatic shift in events), Cruz is more vulnerable than Scott and there's more to gain downballot as well.
Thanks! Happy to be on one Team in 2024
What do you think D's can target in TX downballot aside from the Senate Race? Do you think they can beat Rep. Beth van Duyne or Rep. Wesley Hunt? Because I don't think so.
In Florida they can at least target Anna-Paulina Luna. Rep. Laurel Lee is probably too solid and could be a Statewide Candidate in 2028 to replace Rubio.
I'd target these 2 in FL for sure, but I'm not convinced either seat will flip. Crist should never have ran for governor in 2022, so he may have held onto his seat.
TX-15 is for sure a target as well, on top of the 2 you mentioned. Dems can also make gains in the TX State House I guess.
