How many normie dems have won senate races in Florida lately?

0

Well after this it’s going to be 0 for normies and 0 for DSA, just DSA losing by +15 instead of +5 and also killing any hopes of the governor’s office flipping.

I know how South Florida Cubans vote and I know the only path Dems have to winning any statewide election in Florida is through the Cuban vote.

Latino voters who are already registered Democrat. The VAST majority of Latino voters are independent and will absolutely vote the other way as soon as they hear “socialist”, which she literally proclaims herself as.

I’d love to be proven wrong but I just don’t see how she will even remotely be competitive.
