“Alexa, show us the MOST PATHETIC thing possible ahead of the 2022 gubernatorial election in Florida.”
Alexa:
This might be a long shot, but I’m literally the ONLY statewide elected Democrat in Florida. What if we could beat @GovRonDeSantis to a million followers?!?
He’s starting at 992k.
We’re starting at 171k.Would send a huge message that Democrats aren’t giving up on Florida.

No wonder she’s being outraised by fellow Dem (or whatever political party he belongs to today) Charlie Crist:
If you want some evidence of why her political committee recently only raised $215K, this tweet is it.
FTR, DeSantis's raised $7.5M, and Charlie Crist's raised $1.2 million. https://t.co/cuodoOKDUQ

Yep:
Maybe if Nikki were more focused on raising money than Twitter chicanery, she wouldn't be so far behind Crist AND DeSantis in the cash game. https://t.co/GfDTHdsDNR

For comparison purposes, Rep. Val Demings, who is taking on Sen. Marco Rubio, raised $1 million last week:
Florida Democrats get (and deserve) a lot of hate for losing statewide races. But Demings raised $1 million last week when she announced. Fried raised a pitiful $215,000 in May. https://t.co/RepFielHyB
