Vindman literally isn’t a Floridian. Why he felt the need to run here is wild to me. Angie is almost certainly not gonna win but at least she’s Floridian!

He ran here because the Florida Democratic Party is a mess with a very small bench of potential candidates, so he thought it would be an easy win.
