She's not officially out, but taking an appointment right now seems like something she wouldn't do if she wanted to run. Unfortunate, if true, I thought she'd be our strongest candidate.

She's still teasing it, but may be campaigning heavily with Hogg as well? Definitely won't make her any friends in the panhandle, that's for sure.

I also imagine it may help her to choose a Cuban running mate like DeSantis did?

With Gwen Graham (likely) out, it'll probably be her.

I really liked Crist's ad good combination of touting his record and attacking DeSantis. Also the little bit of Spanish in it, indicates to me that he's committed to Hispanic outreach. Endorsed for now.

Some of the takes in this thread are bodering on self parody. High single digits? Seriously? This is Florida, an actually close state not Ohio.

Crist will get within 4 points of DeSantis. Fried probably cuts that down to the 2-3% range, but I don't see Dems flipping Florida in a Biden midterm.

DeSantis has a +20 approval rate so I doubt that he is going to underperform Trump, I guess that polarisation will make the race a bit closer than his approval rate would suggest but any democrat is probably going to lose by at least 6/7 points, and likely more. DeSantis could even win Miami Dade.

Florida governor races are always close, and DeSantis is too closely tied with Trump. That isn't a bad thing per se, but Democrats will be enthused to show up for him and Fried would be manage to capture that anti-Trump/DeSantis hate at the polls.

FL presidential races were also "always" close too, until, you know, last time it comparatively wasn't. Things change.

Last that I checked 3% is a pretty close margin

[S019]

I still think Crist has the better chance, so I'm still supporting him, if Fried gets off of the Resist train that she's be on lately, I might consider supporting her, not until then though.

Nothing will come out of this!

I don't think anyone asked you.
