With an eye on reelection during his entire first term, Trumps politics and policies have had a Florida-first bias.
That only begins to tell the story of Trumps Florida obsession.
With an eye on reelection during his entire first term, Trumps politics and policies have a Florida-first bias. He boosted disaster money for the state after Hurricane Michael and approved more money for the Everglades. He courted Hispanic voters by cracking down on Venezuela and Cuba. He's tapped big Florida donors, with plans for a Wednesday fundraiser his campaign predicts will haul in another $4 million.
And Trump campaigned relentlessly to make Ron DeSantis governor and Rick Scott senator, marking the first time since Reconstruction that the state has had two GOP senators and a Republican governor. Under Trump, the state and national Republican parties are integrated into his campaign, which classifies Florida as an independent region in a nod to its make-or-break importance.

Every day we're closer to becoming a banana republic.

(10,192 posts)Apparently, the security breach is so secret Governor DeSantis had to sign a non-disclosure agreement before Trump's DOJ and FBI would share the information. Floridians still don't know how the election systems were hacked, to what extent and if it affected the vote totals.
