Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Bloomberg, Patrick make Florida primary ballot
PoliticoTALLAHASSEE — Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick have made the Florida presidential primary ballot, along with 16 other Democrats.
Florida Democrats on Monday gave state election officials a list of 18 candidates for the March 17 primary that includes the two late entrants into the race.
Democrats had turned in a list in early November that didn't include Bloomberg or Patrick, but the party was allowed to update the primary ballot ahead of the state-mandated Nov. 30 deadline.
Florida law allows political parties to decide which candidates can appear on the primary ballot. State Democrats essentially put anyone on the ballot deemed a major candidate with national attention and national reach.
