to losing to Gillum I don’t think Florida is as hard right as people think. I’m in the panhandle and the Trump flags have all but disappeared. Overturning Roe is massively unpopular and the possibility of losing rights to birth control isn’t playing any better. I think it hinges on how well the Dems can GOTV, especially with the group that rarely votes. .
