Florida Democrats ditch donkey for endangered Florida panther as mascot [View all]
Tallahassee DemocratFlorida Democrats have shown the donkey the door and have adopted as a new mascot the Florida panther – an endangered species.
The iconic panther, once reduced to fewer than two dozen in Florida and now numbering close to 300, was introduced Saturday as the new icon for Florida Democrats.
They too once ruled the state but have been out of power and in the wilderness since the 20th century.
Nikki Fried was elected FDP chair in February 2023
“The Florida panther won’t back down from a fight,” Florida Democratic Party chair Nikki Fried said about the animal that nearly disappeared from Florida.
“We gave the donkey the boot. It is time to kick ass,” Fried added in a video produced at the Leadership Blue fundraiser in Orlando Saturday.
