wade is also adding to the challenges for rick scott, senator scott.s this november were abortion access is on the ballot when the nbc affiliate talk to voters in boca raton, conservative leaning, north of miami, they found most voters were in favor of amending the state constitution to protect abortion access. >> i think women should have complete control over their bodies. .. end of story. >> it is their body and not the politicians and for that reason i vote yes. >> a woman's right to choose and talk to her doctor is an issue we have to respect and take care of and definitely vote for. >> that is the only way we can protect reproductive choice and needs to be in the constitution. >> joining us now is the former democratic congresswoman of florida running for the united states senate in florida against rick scott. congresswoman, welcome back to the last word. you are watching in the green room but i want to play with you something again that rachel broke from the other senate race, this one in ohio. it is a good reminder of how republicans talk about

senator rick scott.atina a feature of her campaign has received support from hispanic voter ins florida the past month. in the latest head to head polls she trails rick scott by only 4 points. 42% to 46%. that leaves plenty of undecided voters still to be won and puts rick scott squarely below 50% which is bad news for any incumbent. keeping senate control will be key for a potential harris administration cabinet positions. federal judges and supreme court judges are all senate confirmed positions. speaking of the supreme court, the dobbs decision which overturned roe v. wade is adding to the challenges for senator rick scott. florida will be one of many states this november where abortion access is on the ballot. when nbc affiliate wptv talked to voters in the conservative leaning city of boca raton, they found most were in favor of amending the state constitution to protect abortion access. >> i think women should have complete control over their bodies. period, end of story. >> it's their bodies and n

talk about rick scott for a second.s two governor races but is u.s. senate a race by a margin of more than 1%. add on that to the fact he has been there 14 years, he is bad on social security, he wants to eliminate social security, access to medicare, medicaid, he is horrific on the environment and is horrible on reproductive care. in the state of florida he only pulls back 35%. take somebody very special to get to 35 percent on the counter of that, you have to look at his apartment, member of congress who every single day wakes up and works for the people of our state. rick scott has never been able to run, he is number one in the presidential election cycle. now we feel there is momentum on the ground, a seismic shift in the state of florida. we have this year knocked on $1.5 million. we have called over 6.3 million people in the state of florida, text messages to 13 million floridians but we are seeing a groundswell that we believe we will be victorious in november. >> let me ask you about amendment 4. we know this i

rick scott has been in government for 14 years.d the largest medicare fraud in the history of this country. they also know that he wrote the preamble to project 2025, his 11-point plan for america where he is proposing to raise taxes on middle class families, eliminate medicare and social security. we have the largest number of seniors that live here in florida. if you see anything, go and watch the energy at the villages. the second gentleman came to visit our state last week. i have been at the villages. we had a huge parade in april. florida is coming back. i hope that people are paying attention to what we're about to do in november here. >> we have a minute left. let's talk about the hispanic vote. you are the only latina running for the senate this year. how important is that vote? >> yeah. i hope to join senator catherine cortez. she's the only latina elected in our country. our latino community is one of the largest groups living in the united states. they deserve better representation. i have been communicating and being i

rick scott could be as low as 44.thin the margin of error and when an incumbent is polling below 50, that incumbent is in trouble because historically more of the undecided tends to break for the new candidate. debbie mucarsel-powell's campaign released this new ad. >> i grew up under a dictatorship. before coming to the u.s. i am debbie mucarsel-powell and for me, freedom is and some political slogan. that's why i came to america. but rick scott is trying to take away your freedoms right now. for women, banning abortion. for families, raising taxes and for seniors, ending social security and the freedom to retire with dignity. if you care about freedom, elect a senator who actually believes in it. that is why i approve this message. >> joining us now is former democratic congresswoman debbie mucarsel-powell. she is running for senate in florida against incumbent rick scott. i have to say his answer to why he is not debating you is something i could not quite follow. he says he is not debating you because of where you

republican center senator rick scott is running for reelection with the latest polls are showing thats democratic challenger, debbie mucarsel-powell, can flip that seat blue, if she can do that, it could potentially further shift the balance of power in favor of the democrats. joining me to discuss this is former democratic congressman, debbie mucarsel-powell, she is the candidate for u.s. senate in the sunshine state. you recently stated how democrats should quote, stand behind kamala harris. as someone who is in the mix and on the ballot, and you know has their finger on the pulse of what's going on, i'm curious how you have experienced the trickle-down of the enthusiasm from the harris campaign. it used to be convention that florida is lost but do you feel like there's a surge in momentum here? >> good evening, sam, thank you for having me. look, the momentum and the energy we are feeling now especially after the vice president announced her candidacy is palpable and it's only growing, it's not going to stop. we've seen over 30,000 volunteers that have signed up to help the harris

senate in florida against incumbent rick scott.bating you something i couldn't quite follow. he said he is not debating you because of where you are. >> good evening, lawrence. an old and tired and corrupt politician being scared to debate a strong woman, a qualified woman with a clear vision to build a better state, does that sound familiar? we have been accepting -- we now accepted three debates. he has been dodging the question. he is obviously petrified because if i were him i would be, too. he can't defend his record on writing a plan that was actually a preamble for project 2025 to in social security and medicare. he has a record of pushing for a national abortion ban. he voted against access to ivf and in florida, our values are not those. we know the goal to support amendment four now is over 60%. we have seen mobilizing like we have not seen in years in the state. millions of dollars coming in to get those voters to come out and vote in support of amendment four. i just need 50+ one but i can't do this alone, lawrence. i n

we are seeing proposals like that from rick scott who would like to see greater protection for the formerresident. even how speaker mike johnson has said the house will push for greater resources for the secret service. the questions are around funding money and personnel and whether the agency charged with protecting presidents and nominees is adequately staffed and has enough resources. there were logistical challenges yesterday with the golf course they were trying to keep secure for the former president and republican nominee. they were not able to identify the suspect -- they were able to identify the suspect and he fled before he fired at the president -- former president. the investigation will remain underway for some time. sonali: what does this mean for the election itself, to see this kind of attempt at violence at a time when you yourself said you were trying to see a show of unity starting to surface between the parties? kailey: after the first attempted assassination on the eve of the republican national convention, he was preaching a message of unity. it feels the reaction

rick scott, very interesting candidate.to his past elections whether it's been for senate or governor, he's narrowly eked out those victories. democrats say that makes them feel more optimistic going into this election, that they could potentially best him at least in the senate, though, it will be a tough race. one more thing, jonathan, that's interesting to point out about florida. not only do you have this abortion amendment on the ballot, you have this amendment to legalize recreational marijuana in the state. rick scott has come out against that amendment, though. it's said to be an amendment that could potentially galvanize a lot of young voters in florida. the question, though, is how does that state's very important senior citizen voting population vote on that amendment. >> yeah, you're right. good point, one story line we'll definitely follow in the weeks ahead. national politics reporter for the hill, julia manchester, thank you. we'll have you back again soon. >>> next up here we'll go live to cnbc for an early

wade and rick scott who doubled down and said i fully support six week ban. i don't believe in any exceptions and i'm voting no on that referendum. so we've got a candidate in florida who is voting no on an issue that's intensely personal, intensely powerful with 68% of the people in florida. now, i've been in politics a while and you usually don't like to be on the wrong side of 68% of the people, especially for an issue that's as important and as powerful as that. that's why we're investing in florida, that's why we are going to win florida. we've just got to keep pushing and letting people know what's at stake. back to your question. what's at stake, elections matter. and this election matters so much for the future of this country, decades to come that people have to get out. >> war fatigue? >> well, war fatigue. certainly, i think we're still committed to making sure that we have the rule of law in free countries and we have a democracy in ukraine that's under attack by a brutal regime of putin who has done unspeakable things in ukraine and as a country

rick scott has never won by more than 1%. we see these numbers in the margin of error and that is momentum as we want to make sure we're playing offense as well as defense. the best defense is the best offense. but clearly these are expensive states, where we need to continue to raise resources, which is why defendthesenate.org is critical. we are able to help folks or candidates in both texas and florida, as well as defend our seats. but it will take support as well as individual contributors. i would encourage everyone to look at florida and texas. if you believe in our candidates there, please invest. >> the campaign is sitting on gobs of money. but how much can the harris- walz campaign help? can you get some of that money that they have raised? >> they can. in fact, we have had a transfer of $10 million from their campaign, but we're also working very closely. if you think of our battleground state, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, arizona, nevada, those are also key states for the president and the vice president to w

senate, rick scott having never won by more than one or two points in his races for governor and senatet also never lost. the ron desantis 19-point win in florida return to the mean of two or three points for rick if so, scott. if so, florida democrats have a but now with the harris future. and the reproductive freedom ballot initiative, watch out, florida is now in the don't count us out stage, if you are a democrat. >> all right, >> all right, former congressman from florida, david jolly, >>> a you. >>> a major boost for democrats running for house, senate and state legislatures. kamala harris and the dnc will transfer nearly $25 million to boost candidates chances in tight races, far more than in past presidential years. and in the process, it could potentially bring more people to the polls, who might be motivated by those local contests. nbc's yamiche nbc's yamiche alcindor is tracking this for us. promoting a local race can indeed mean in the end people who are, you know, occasional voters, disinterested voters, might actually go to the polls, but let's talk about the big overall

rick scott has nothing but to spread this information. we have in the senate right now. and rick scott has no idea what it's like for people look my family that had to grow up under a military dictatorship. i have family in venezuela and good friends in venezuela. he has no idea what it's like to fight for freedom and democracy. and he's using this pain, this attack, this false attack, to try to score political points. and he's insulting the legacy of my mother, of latinos that left socialist dictatorships and if he want to talk about the border. let me say a couple things. he had the opportunity not once but twice, to vote for a border bill that i would have voted for that was sponsored and endorsed by customs and border patrol provided significant funding for a border. we must protect the border but we must have the courage to sit down at the table with republicans, democrats, whoever wants to deal with the issue that we have at the border, to make sure that we provide legal pathways. that's what republican business owners here in the s

a spring in florida republican senator rick scott who serves on the homeland security and he oversees the secret service, senator scott great to be with you here. i want to start if i may with his comment from earlier from president biden about all of this and get your thoughts if i may. >> president joe biden: this service needs more help and i think congress should respond to their needs. i think they may decide whether they need more personnel are not. >> martha: your thoughts on this senator? >> clearly we need to provide whatever resources president trump needs. i texted back and forth with him and i'm glad he stayed safe and i talked with the sheriff of palm beach and martin county and i want to thank the secret service and have a lot of great law enforcement in florida. the rhetoric of the democrats have to stop, they can't continue to say trump's a threat to democracy and expect these crazy people out there not to take action. there is vital rhetoric that the democrats that are causing this. i have a bill that would make sure that president trump gets the exact same resources

report and i want to go now to that us senator from florida, also the former florida governor, rick scott. senator scott, thank you so much for being here. i want to pick up where carlos just laughed off. i mean, talking big picture this is a category for helene was the strongest hurricane on record to strike florida's big bend do you know roughly how many residents? did not heed evacuation orders and can you tell us about rescue efforts at this time talking to you. this was a massive storm. it's a massive, massive amount of water we had flooding from naples, florida all the way up through past tallahassee and apalachicola. i mean, we have unfortunately we have people that they look at storms and say, oh, it's a category 12 or three, that's not so bad. instead of thinking about the storm surge so there's a massive amount of water we still have flooding we have hopefully we don't have any more deaths. i've been talking to sheriffs all along the coast and they're doing rescue efforts with the fire department's rescue teams so there i ask everybody stay out of it. don't be somebody who goes

rick scott has never won by roughly more than 1% in races. we see these numbers now in the margin of error sometimes at the top end. that is momentum. we don't want to leave anything behind. we want to make sure we're playing offense as well as defense and i always believe the best defense is a good offense. and when you've got momentum you have to put these things in. these are important states. we're going to continue to raise resources. which is why our website defend.org we're able to help candidates in both texas and florida as well as defend our seats. but it's going to take support from the dscc as well as individual contributors and i would encourage everyone to look at florida and texas and if you believe in our candidates there, please investment. >> the harris-walz campaign is sitting on goobobs of money to use a term. can you get some of that money that they've raised to help you with some of those senate races? >> they can. they help. in fact, we have had a transfer of $10 million from their campaign. but we're also working very

debbie powell is running against rick scott.g vulnerable and should the democrats be looking at florida seriously given the is also an abortion ballot at play as well? >> i think he's vulnerable. it is a tough seat for democrats but is there vulnerability? sure. look at what senator scott said about social security and medicare and medicaid. those are the kinds of things that drive a lot of votes in florida. the abortion initiative that is on the ballot is a very important. it will take 60% for that to be successful but it will drive turnout and i hope democrats will do more, i think you see democrats going into south florida and other places, to narrow the gap and traditionally red areas. that is the key for florida and i hope that they won't just take it for granted that it is in the red column. >> it seems like he may not be the most vulnerable senator, who is up for re-election in this term. is the most vulnerable republican ted cruz instead? >> i got to tell you, i was recently coming this past weekend, in austin for the te

. >> several republican lawmakers including senators joni ernst of iowa and rick scott of florida spoke about a range of issues including the israel hamas war and the 2024 presidential election during the republican jewish coalition summit in las vegas. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the chairman of the republican jewish coalition senator norm coleman. ♪♪ >> thank you. as matt brooks would say, hello. welcome to las vegas. it is great to have you with us tonight. in the house that sheldon builds and he will forever, forever have a special place in our hearts. our jc, we were created for this moment. this is our time. we have the opportunity to replace and administration that is failing america, that is crushing the americanhe spirit, that is undermining support for our ally israel and replace that with donald j trump being the 47th president of the united states. [cheering and applause] but before we get into politics, i want to take a moment to reflect. it is hard to believe thathe almost one year has passed since the brutal attack on october 7. the horror and the grief of tha

florida is another state where it was one of the only states where democrats have the opportunity, rick scott, polls have shown him about four or five points ahead. not comfortable leaving by any stretch. florida is another state, i think trump is ahead but not by much. virginia is another state people have been talking about. we had polls shown that donald trump was tied and maybe ahead. she has moved back ahead in that state. a not necessarily comfortable lead. that is a state joe biden won by 10 points in 2020. new hampshire is another one people are keeping. there are people maybe not getting their fair share of attention because the candidates, whether they are republican or democrat are not leading by as much as we might have expected. host: what benefit do election polls offer? guest: good question, polling has been around for a long time. i think the reason people complain about it is every cycle we get complaints that too much of the media coverage is driven by a horse race, it is policy driven. it is just the fact of life. i don't think polls will ever go away. it's the only way peo

when i asked senator rick scott whether donald trump should stay away from the personal stuff he saide issues he said, donald trump is donald trump so there is certain fatalism among his supporters about whether or not he will do that. we know he doesn't do proper debate preparation, not in the traditional manner, so they will all be holding their breath about which donald trump turns up tonight.— turns up tonight. gary, great to seak turns up tonight. gary, great to speak to _ turns up tonight. gary, great to speak to you, _ turns up tonight. gary, great to speak to you, we - turns up tonight. gary, great to speak to you, we will - turns up tonight. gary, great| to speak to you, we will come back to you through the course of the evening, thank you so much. gary mentioned north dakota governor doug burgum. governor burgum ran for the republican presidential nomination, ending his campaign in december 2023. he is with us now. great to have you with this, thank you forjoining us on bbc news. good evening, thanks to having the. . , ., good evening, thanks to having the. . , ., . the. hav

bys in texas to support call in allread against ted cruz and help debbie powell against senator rick scott majority leader chuck schumer saying they want to eliminate the filibuster for reproductive rights. we are back with dan heninger, kyle peterson and kim strassel. what do you make of harris coming out and saying let's get rid of the senate filibuster rule to pass something so you only have to do it with 51? she didn't have to say that. >> no, but it is a mistake. paul: a political mistake? >> it raises the stakes for many voters who might like john tester personally but they think what one party could do for 50 votes. a senate without a filibuster the let's democrats do what they want with 50 votes is the senate that lets republicans do what they want with 50 votes. that is the deeper mistake, she's imagining democrats will codify roe versus wade and so forth but republicans as soon as they take majority control, national right to work, national abortion restrictions. paul: it's not just kamala harris. chuck schumer wants to break the filibuster not just for abortion but voting rights

you see that rick scott is running scared because debbie powell is also running a great campaign, andw, the fact is, the republicans, the maga republicans have ticked off the haitians, venezuelans, abortion is on the ballot, cannabis is on the ballot and for the first time in 30 years there's a democrat running in every congressional state house and state senate seat. so we have been doing these things, putting all of these blocks together, to get us to this point where we can compete everywhere. i'm telling the republicans right now. we are not ceding ground to you anywhere from nebraska to maine, to alaska. we are going to fight all over. and we know if the vice president says, when we fight, we win. >> alicea wrote nebraska down before you set up. in nebraska, not just winning the blue dot, if you will, that's on the table for either vice president harris or donald trump but there's a congressional seat there, tony vargas is the democratic candidate running against don bacon, and there's a senate candidate and an independent senate candidate that seems to be surging. do you think t

great to be back here and what do you say it's great to have the senators supporting us, rick scott,oni ernst. let's get it up for all the great folks that are supporting rjc. [applause] stand up, give a little wave. there she is. when we were here last year on october 28th, of course, many of you were here that evening and, of course, it was incredible night. it was in the aftermath of the heinous unprovoked attack on innocent people by hamas but that evening for katherine and i and we spent the last 50 months traveling the country talking to americans and campaigning and supporting president trump and that evening for us was one of the most unforgettable and inspiring evenings that we had coming out of that tragedy and it was an evening that touched our hearts and i would tell you why because what we saw there was what -- what we -- katherine and i called the best of america. people were here holding and hugging each other and at least emotionally and there was a giant hug for all the pain and the suffering that had happened in israel and the connections between our country and isr

rick scott has nothing but to spread this misinformation.s one of the most extreme senators in the senate and rick scott has no idea what it is like for people like my family who had to grow up under a military dictatorship. i have family living in venezuela. i have very good friends in venezuela. he has no idea what it is like to fight for freedom and democracy. he is using this pain, this attack, this false attack to try to score political points, and he is insulting the legacy of my mother, of latinos that have left socialist dictatorships. if he wants to talk about the border, let me just say a couple of things here. he had the opportunity not once but twice to vote for a border bill that i would have voted for that was sponsored and endorsed by customs and border patrol that would have provided significant funding for our border. we must protect our border, but we must have the courage to sit down at the table with republicans, democrats, whoever wants to deal with the issue we have at the border to make sure we provide legal pathways.

in florida against rick scott, he has extreme positions on abortion. in florida, there will be an abortion rights into the country. that can drive out their rights are not taken away. she needs help on the ground. she needs financial help. and colin allred in texas, a fantastic congressman. taking on ted cruz. ted cruz, whose popularity has continued to decline over the years. he is very vulnerable, but these are big states. we need resources, folks who are willing to invest in these two candidates. certainly my committee, we are doing that. we made investments into the ground with our announcement today. we'll continue to provide resources. but as long as the republicans will continue to pour in money, particularly from wealthy billionaires to support these two republicans, we know these are going to be tough races. but we're in the margin of error. i'm confident we can win. we just need to work very hard in the remaining 50 days. >> senator gary peters. thank you very much for discussing that tonight. >> thank you. >>> coming up, the new york had tim

ted cruz who you are running against and rick scott in florida is not the first time democrats have heardtexas is in play. but the party hasn't won a senate seat there in three decades. why to you believe this time is different? >> this is good news for us and it shows our momentum. and shows the folks are seeing around the country what we know to be true here in texas. and that's that i'm going to beat ted cruz. we've been laser focused to issues that matter to texans with now less than 40 days to go. ted cruz is also in this position because of what he's been doing and what he's not been doing. that he has not allowed us to secure our border for example. that we're experiencing extreme abortion ban here in texas that's putting women's lives in danger because of him. that he wants to cut medicare and social security that so many texans rely on and that i have a record of bringing folks together. being the most bipartisan democrat in congress. we're going to beat ted cruz here. >> according to a new telemundo poll, vice president kamala harris is leading former president trump among regis

debbie mcdowell is running against rick scott who said he would have voted for that abortion been. the consequences for these decisions that have been made to deny access to caribbean felt all over the country. this tragic story in georgia has wrought the reality of this home in ways that i think americans are really thinking about as they go into this election. >> speaking of former president trump, he posted in all caps rants on truth social claiming won't have to think about abortion if he's elected. his message to female voters coming the same day he stood by his endorsement of the north carolina republican candidate for governor mark robinson despite reports of racist and sexist comments, allegations he denies. democrats are increasingly highlighting a pattern of misogynist rhetoric and policy coming from republicans starting at the very top of the ticket. what are your thoughts on all of this? >> every day donald trump is showing us who he is. we need to believe him. we need to believe what he tells us he's going to do this latest disaster with mark robinson out of north caro

looking at the parkland shooting in florida, after that horrible act that happened in florida, rick scott, then the governor, passed over 21 pieces of legislation, including red flag laws, including certain age limit requirements on these types of weapons. 75% of republican voters in texas want to see age limits on access to these types of weapons. i, of course, m one of them. so, they need to do what i didn't want to go see, which is dead kids. when you see a little girl with her face just gone, just obliterated in such a horrific way, it changes everything that you believe in in life, and it changes your focus entirely. if policymakers truly want to do the right thing here, they need to understand that s is not just another mass shooting, this s he end of two little boys' lives, the end of two teachers' lives, and all of this is avoidable. every sheriff in parkland -- in florida, rather -- appreciates the fact that they have red flag laws. if we had red flag laws in georgia -- and i don't know if we do -- this might have been avoided about a year ago. >> yeah. it was parkland students w

herself from the current administration, and that is something republicans are pushing, including rick scottf florida, who told bloomberg this earlier this evening. >> we know what trump believes in. harris is trying to separate herself what she has done. the pressure is on her. she was the deciding vote on spending. kailey: are you seeing reflected in pulling that there is daylight between harris and biden, or is that something she needs to do more? >> she needs to fill herself in, but it is amazing that people have already created separation, they take she was in the room which is reassuring but they do not think any vice president is in control of policies. they want to hear her policies and specifics about her policies that will affect their lives. she is very effective laying that out. joe: i would love to hear your thoughts on the rules. kamala harris one of the microphones on muted after what we saw -- unmuted after what we saw with joe biden. >> we thought and the vice president thought it was more important to keep the debate on and understand that even though we cannot have the bac

republican elected officials who are still backing trump, endorsing trump still echoing his lie, even rick scott in a state with over 300,000 registered legal haitian voters is saying, these rumors are terrible and dangerous. we do not know what is going on with my haitians are okay but these are dangerous. these people having more responsibility to break from trump. at this point, it has been a long few years. we will not see that. they will not break from him. they will continue to amplify the lie and the maga media are on a treadmill of lies, outrage , they don't not want to get off of that. >> it is absolutely shameful. i know it sound like a broken record but there is no bottom to the republican party at this moment. we have got worst of the week coming up in just a moment. but for that, palestine is an issue most american voters care about. why is, harris taking advantage of that? trains that sense what isn't on the schedule. ♪ trains that use the power of dell ai and intel. ♪ to see hundreds of miles of tracks. ♪ [vroom] [train horn] [buzz] clearing the way, [whoosh] so you arrive exactly

. >> we have a strong candidate in florida, former congresswoman from the miami area against rick scottllot in texas. we know how powerful that is turning out voters who want to protect their rights. we need resources. we are putting in resources. we announced $25 million in ground campaign across our targeted races in florida and texas. we still need help. that's all our defendthesenate.org is important to have resources. we have big money coming in against the races. we know if we have the resources and we run the ground campaign like we did last cycle when we made history, we can do it again. >> at the same time, they are both -- in texas and florida, they have donald trump in big leads. >> we are basically in the margin of error. we always knew that that would be a close race. after labor day and in the margin of error with strong democratic candidates in florida and texas, if they get the money in florida and texas, they can win. we know that's possible. we have to continue to push very hard. >> how is kamala harris replacing joe biden changed the equation? >> one thing is, energy.

codify and federal law, roe, because he would give the majority to people like mitch mcconnell, rick scotted war on reproductive freedoms for women. >> people have to understand when you are casting your vote for senate, it is not just for an individual. you are casting a vote for who will be the majority party that controls the entire senate and everything that happens there. if you cast your vote for a republican, you are casting a vote for a continuation of the mitch mcconnell power structure with other people in place. >> that's absolutely rice -- right. this race is bigger than my opponent. it's about the control of the senate, about an agenda for our country and the view that we have of the future could not be any more different, whether or not we will preserve the rights and freedoms that my 19-year- old daughter deserves, whether she will have fewer rights than her grandmother or whether she will be able to make decisions about her own body, whether or not gun violence will continue to be the number one killer of children in the united states of america whether we are going to pass

rick scott, obama winning the presidential in 2020, donald trump in 2016 and me in 2018. even less than 1 %. we won by 20 points. no one thought that was possible in florida. we now -- when i got elected we had 300,000 more registered republicans -- democrats then republicans. by the time i got reelected, we flip that to 300,000 r's then t's and that generated a 1.5 million vote budget because we won independence. since my reelection, we've gone from 300,000 more registered republicans to -- democrats then. that is in the teeth of 99 % hostile media, denigrating florida, attacking me but also the state. people in the dark days of covid we were being pilloried and people were coming. that tells me that there's a desire for truth. it's not easy. a lot of static out there. people do want to see the truth. we showed how it's done. for the balance of this national campaign, they are going to act as an arm of the harris-walls campaign. that will happen. the corporate media, it's a huge part of the democratic party. it's interesting. i think how you combat it. as a governor it w
