I think we are in a great position to beat Trump. It is still amazing how many people voted for him.

It is incredible that Trump went from 4.617 million in Florida in 2016 to 5.652 million in 2020.

Granted a lot of that came from Cuban-Americans who switched to Trump. But an additional 1.035 million votes is still pretty shocking.

His margin of victory in Florida went from 1.19 percent to 3.5 percent.

In Ohio he went from 2.841 million to 3.054 million. His margin of victory went from 8.07 percent to 8.1 or 8.2 percent.

Fortunately, we are improving on our performance in states like Arizona and Georgia, and probably Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. So I think the odds are definitely in our favor.

It is just disheartening to know that so many people are capable of supporting this evil man.
