Congratulations to Nikki Fried on her new gig. We just referred to her in a post as a failed Florida gubernatorial candidate, but she’s got a new title: chair of the Florida Democrats.
And why not? Last August, she lost the Democratic primary to former Gov. Charlie Crist by a margin of 60 to 35 percent. Christ then got completely blown out by Ron DeSantis in the general, beating Crist by 20 percentage points and turning Miami-Dade red — the first Republican governor to do so since 1982.
It’s good news for Fried, who can now continue her obsession with trying to take down DeSantis.
The Florida Democratic Party congratulates @NikkiFried on being elected to lead our party as the new Chair. We look forward to working together to elect Democrats up and down the ballot to deliver for Floridians. pic.twitter.com/hwgHHlhgH6

No better person to lead the Democrats in Florida than the person who lost by thirty points to the guy who lost by twenty… 🥴🤭😂

Yes, she did so well against Charlie Crist that you want her chairing your state party. Congrats on the impending disaster.

Wow, what a horrible, embarrassing decision.
Great news for the @TheFLGOP, however.

During her single 4 year term Fried redesigned gas pump stickers, promoted a Florida gun law bill, partook in Florida v. Georgia over waters within the ACF River Basin, and appointed two lobbyists for the Florida Sugar Cane League.
This is your champion?

Yeah, but she had DeSantis sweating for a while with those jagged tweets.
