TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Democratic Governors Association appears to have already written off next year’s Florida gubernatorial election as a loss, and has indicated that they will not provide Democratic challengers to Gov. Ron DeSantis any major financial support.
An anonymous DGA official told POLITICO that “[the DGA] might do some money, but they are not going the way they have been in the past. There are not going to be multi-million-dollar checks.”
POLITICO reports:
The perception that DeSantis is unbeatable has left national Democratic groups like the DGA to weigh whether they should spend resources in Florida, a hugely expensive state with 10 media markets, or use that cash to help incumbents in cheaper states.
“I do think, and I can’t stress this enough, the DGA is playing mostly defense this year, and that’s a monumental change,” said Jonathan Ducote, a veteran Democratic consultant who has worked with the group. “When I think about Florida statewide elections, the number one thing you have to ask yourself is do you have the money to communicate in a really expensive state?”
One of the people who has spoken with the DGA said that DeSantis’ near universal support from the GOP base and $50 million war chest — as well the organization’s focus on incumbents — means Florida is likely to see far less money than past election cycles. There was no dollar figure immediately available.
In addition to nationwide name recognition and near-universal support from his party’s base, DeSantis also currently holds a $50 million fundraising advantage over both of his major Democratic opponents. According to TheBlaze, a recent poll by the Saint Leo University Polling Institute shows that DeSantis also boasts a 56.4% job approval rating.
And while few polls of the race have been conducted thus far, aggregates show that he leads Florida Democrats’ likely nominee, U.S. Representative and former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, by a margin of one percent — though some polls released earlier this year showed DeSantis’ lead in the double digits.

Charlie Crist? Are you kidding? Landslide fodder.
I gots a plan… a DeSantis/Trump ticket in 2024. A Trump/DeSantis ticket in 2028 A DeSantis/Trump ticket in 2032. now that they both have served two terms as president Trump will be ready to retire but DeSantis can be VP indefinitely so during the next eight years we shift the responsibility of the president more to the VP. Slowly, quietly so the dement-o-craps dont catch on. DeSantis is young and should be able to cover at least 5 additional terms as VP. During his first term with Trump we eliminate all mail in and absentee ballots. all voting is done in person.
Of course we’ll have to keep putting strong candidates forward as president and gain and keep control of the House and senate…but doable. After a decade of Trump and DeSantis America will be America again.
Then all we need to do is unwoke the military, burn all journalist at the state like witches and boil the progressives down into a fine grade machine oil.
Easy Peasy
It couldnt be that fact that they have the lowest everything pertaining to covid, could it?
It couldnt be about the freemdom enjoyed there by everyone?
And it definitely cant be the first one driving the second one, now could it?
How can you run against that?
Dem: “We need everyone to mask up and distance to drive down the covid cases……..wait a sec…. ”
Dem: “We need to protect everyone from the deadly covid virus”
Reporter: “you do know that we have the lowest cases and deaths in the country, right?”
Dem: “trump caused all this. Orange man bad!”
