    How do you say Florida was a victory when they underperformed elections held 6 months ago? Like, a pretty sizable shift

    Edit: 6 months ago, 66% of people in FL-1 voted not just for a Republican, but an accused child molester, Matt Gaetz. Yesterday, 57% voted for a non-child molester Republican.

    That’s a HUGE shift for such a short period.

    The shift in Wisconsin (POTUS -> courts) was 5-6 percentage points

      He did say to his Maga peeps that they wouldn’t have to vote after November. Maybe some of them took that to heart.

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
