This is concerning news. This would be a disaster for America.
And a leftist candidate made a shocking announcement that will leave these Americans petrified.
David Jolly wants Floridians to believe the Sunshine State is ready to hand the governor’s mansion to a Democrat for the first time in three decades.
Speaking on CNN’s OutFront, the former Republican congressman who now runs as a Democrat declared that the moment has arrived for his side.
“If the election were tonight, we would win the general election in Florida as a Democratic candidate,” Jolly stated.
He painted a picture of voters desperate for something different and claimed a fresh political force is taking shape.
“Sure, I think I’m a strong candidate building a coalition, but the cycle is presenting an opportunity where voters are just screaming for change. I do think there’s a new coalition emerging in American politics. We’re seeing it in Florida,” he stated.
“It’s rooted not so much in party, but in the basic everyday majority that believes that the economy should work for everybody, that government should fill in the gaps where the private sector can’t deliver on housing, health care, education, clean air, clean water, and that, yes, we should be a place where everyone’s rights are protected and their dignity respected. That doesn’t have to be an ambitious progressive agenda.”
He went further, tying his personal journey into the pitch:
“You mentioned I’m a former Republican. Some of my roots are in less government Libertarianism. I spent five years, six years maybe as an Independent, really just tackling big problems that needed big solutions. I’m telling you, if the election were tonight in Florida, Florida’s voters would elect a Democratic governor for the first time in 30 years.”
That is a bold claim in a state that has delivered landslide victories for Republican governors and presidential candidates in recent cycles.
Florida under Ron DeSantis has become a national model for limited government, parental rights, and economic growth without the heavy hand of federal-style programs.
Unemployment stays low, businesses keep relocating here, and residents keep voting against the very expansions Jolly now champions.
Jolly’s talk of government “filling in the gaps” on housing, health care, education, and the environment sounds familiar to anyone who has watched Democratic administrations pile on regulations and spending.
Those approaches have driven up costs in blue cities and states while leaving ordinary families squeezed.
Floridians have watched that experiment elsewhere and chosen a different path.
