Ron DeSantis' 2024 road just hit a major Covid-19 bump

[TodayJunior]

It most certainly does and will matter by next year if we don’t course correct immediately. This new variant is effecting younger folks a lot more. Dismiss this issue at your own peril. It’s going to catch up to Ron sooner or later. The rhetoric will only outlast the facts on the ground for so long. Take the vaccine!!!! (Obviously consult with your doctor first).

This won’t make a difference, no matter how much certain users here want it to.

You cannot stop the Ron!

Hubris will be your downfall good sir!

Am I the only optimist who thinks DeSantis can lose re-election next year? Split ticketing does happen here. See 2016. Rubio ran way ahead of trump.

Florida is a state where Republicans outperform the presidential topline downballot. DeSantis looks set to pick up a decently sized chunk of Biden's 2020 voters, while losing few if any of Trump's voters.

Who are these Biden voters who just rejected Trump but who won’t reject trump 2.0? There can’t be that many, but I’ll give you the turnout factor.

Polls show that DeSantis is pretty popular in Florida. Besides, Florida Hispanics are trending rapidly to the right thanks to Rick Scott. I'd be surprised if DeSantis wins by less than 10, let alone loses.

I do stand corrected for now (2022) on Ron (60/52 on economy/covid, the latter of which is shameful), however far away we are from Nov-22. This is the latest data I could find. However, if any other Republican is the 2024 nominee, there is a strong chance Florida will vote for Joe Biden.
