Who is more likely to lose re-election?

[THG]

DeSantis (sane, normal).

Florida is far less red and it doesn't look like Abbott will get a strong challenger such as Crist or Fried.

Uhhhhh.... Crist and Fried are terrible candidates. One is Floridian Kelli Ward, and the other is Floridian Martha McSally who has had the dishonor of changing parties on multiple occasions.

The Texas Democratic Party can nominate any random guy off the street and would more likely than not have found a stronger candidate than Crist

I don't get the notion Crist is a particular weak candidate. He came within 1% in 2014, which was a Republican wave year. There are far worse candidates. He's also well known in the state.

1) Crist was far more popular at the time. He’s more akin to McSally 2.0 by now.

2) Florida was more of a swing state in 2014, though it’s not a fully red state now.

3) DeSantis is more popular than Rick Scott ever was.


I don’t think Crist would be super strong at this point anymore, in all honesty. Maybe if it was still 2014, but it ain’t.
