i don't know what it is in florida. would republicans be confident in desantis to beat a guy that we saw has clear political talent like andrew gillum, to stay with you, chris. >> well, because florida is a difficult and complex state. in addition to which, on the point of desantis not being the establishment nominee, i think that's one area he should focus on. the question is going to be will those folks stay home? will they vote with him? will they work actively against him? . i think that is an area of weakness and he needs to get in front of that. >> let me go to michael steele. you were the king of the 2010 midterms, a lot of democrats still mad at you over that. democrats are looking at a lot of enthusiasm and it's interesting, michael, the south, including your home state of maryland, are nominating african-american candidates. you have ben jealous nominated in maryland, he's not polling so well against the republican larry hogan. stacy abrams in georgia who's polling within the margin of error but ahead of brian

compared to florida, our number one state in florida is having people flood in. it is not just retirees, older americans, it is also younger americans looking for opportunities. perhaps they are the loads skilled worker in upstate new york who can't get a job because of the fact that minimum wage is so high or the tax burden is so stifling, because housing costs are a problem. upstate there's affordable housing there, the fact is there not opportunities. even if you can get a house relatively cheaply it's harder to get jobs and have that economic dynamism that you have seen. it's a real case in which outcomes are impacted by freedom. people move for different reasons. whether, family, natural amenities. but freedom matters. you can see that in states like new york compared to florida or nevada compared to california. california has the best weather, cities, mountains, beaches, hollywood, yet 6% of the population has flowed out. and nevada is growing. look at the difference between illinois and indiana. indiana has lost a little population like a lots of rust belt
