Sunshine State showdown: Obama heads to Florida in between Trump visits

MIAMI — Former President Barack Obama plans to rally for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum and Sen. Bill Nelson on Nov. 2 in Florida, an appearance that will be bookended by President Trump rallying for the Democrats’ rivals for governor and Senate in the Sunshine State on Oct. 31 and Nov. 3.

The get-out-the-vote rallies from the two most popular figures in their respective parties underscore the national importance of the two top-of-the-ticket races in the country’s biggest swing state. And they show just how much Democrats and Republicans want to turn out their bases in the two tight races.

Obama is heading to the heart of Democratic country: Miami. Trump is going to Republican-rich Fort Myers on Wednesday to campaign with Senate hopeful Gov. Rick Scott, who is challenging Nelson, and GOP gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis, and then returns to Pensacola in the Panhandle on Nov. 3, the day after Obama’s visit to South Florida.

As of Monday morning, the Democrats appear to need the help more.

Despite Democrats’ talk of a “blue wave” swamping Florida, Republicans hold a 42-40 percent edge over Democrats in pre-Election Day ballots cast. Democratic ballots have been slowly eating into the GOP’s margin and may even up the score by week’s end if current voting rates hold.

1. Good news but Politico is full of shite

Did they count yesterday's "souls to the polls?" They wants close race so badly they say nonsense.
