It’s looking more and more likely that former Republican governor and current Dem Rep. Charlie Crist is going to be the nominee and face Gov. Ron DeSantis in November.
This is an internal Crist poll, but wow. Nikki Fried is down by 21%:

So, vote for Nikki because, like Donald Trump, she writes her own tweets? LOL:
I’ll be the first governor of Florida who reads and responds to you here.
I’m sure you can tell I’m the only candidate who actually tweets. 😉
