It can only help Democrats.

the entire group. Spanish speakers and Brasilan Portuguese speakers combined voted in pretty large majorities for DeathSentence and the Rethugs. So many of the Central American and South American wealthy (or at least middle class bourgeoisie) have moved into Florida, and they ofttimes (as so many were RW POS back in the origin country, or their parents or grandparents were) buy into the 'the Dems are all commies' shit just like the Cubanos do. The same for their love for anti LGBTQ movements and their misogynistic stances.

Plus millions of retiring christofash white power northern MAGAts have, are, and will be flowing into the FL fever swamps.

I do not see FL going Blue, same for TX, which every cycle some here claim is surely going Blue as well this time.


Data on the Cuban FL percentages

Florida

FLPopulation estimates, July 1, 2023, (V2023) 22,610,726



Hispanic or Latino, percent(b) 27.1% (6,127,507)



Cubans make up 25.4 % of those 6,127,507 FL Latinos

It is disgusting and they assume everyone here loves him too.

With abortion and pot on the ballot, Democrats and young people might come out to vote.

Let's also remember that Sen Voldemort won by less than 1% last time and we have a good competitor in Debbie Murcarsel-Powell. Plus, Nikki Fried is doing a great job revitalizing the Florida Democratic Party.

It all comes down to turnout.

i have hope.

DeathSentence won big in '22, in large part because Dems and young people just didn't vote. The #s are staggering.

Florida is too far down the rabbit hole. They believe they are living in Utopia.

Biden got 47.9% in 2020 to 51.2% for Trump.

Abortion is going to be a game changer. It’s in the ballot.

Things have changed since 2020. A lot more Republicans live here now than they did in 2020.

DeSantis got 4 million votes in 2018. He got 4.6 million votes in 2022. That’s a huge difference in turnout, and Dobbs was still fresh.

But not for the better. It's even more right-wing now. Here's a poll, and Biden is down by 10. His approval is just 36%.

But I don’t think he can win.

4 years ago, I would have said he had a chance. Too many Republicans have moved here since 2020.

the repubs elsewhere😀

I’d take the hit if more Republicans from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia want to move to Florida.

Florida Republicans at all levels should be shaking in their jackboots. Also, the Governor has terrible approval ratings.

Biden's is 36% in Florida.

cost the states enormous amounts of money, and signed a 15 week abortion ban.

Here's a brand new one from two days ago:

ETC we can win...the electoral college and the senate seat...Rick Scott' seat.

Average of last 10 Florida polls - https://www.270towin.com/2024-presidential-election-polls/florida

Biden. 40
Trump. 49.3

When you add Independents

Biden. 38
Trump. 48
Kennedy 6.3
West. 1
Stein. .05

Plus other - 5 to 8 %

Like Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Trump unfortunately brought out a bunch of voters in the panhandle which helped him in 2016 and 2020. If I was Biden I would send Obama to campaign there heavily if he hasn’t already.

If the grass roots is active, President Biden will very likely carry Florida.

One, people there don't come across as terribly politically aware nor engaged. Two, if they are, they like DeSantis.

Yes, yes, there are exceptions.

I'm just speaking as someone who is there lots, in all parts of the state, and who listens to folks.

YMMV

other day.

What's in it for him to say that? He mentioned NC, too. I think he let something slip there about what they're seeing.

Who knows. I'll just say I put little stock in polls posted by people who only ever post Republican friendly polls.....

Because "vote Democrat" or the "Democrat party" is what ignorant Republicans do.
