Democrats say Florida is 'dead for Biden' as his 2024 presidential campaign starts: 'We just need to be realistic'
Read Original Source
President Joe Biden's chances of winning in 2024 aren't looking so sunny in the Sunshine State, Democrats say. The president just officially declared his reelection bid, but even before his announcement, Democratic insiders were looking beyond Florida for his path to reelection. The state is an electoral gem in presidential politics, but it's expensive to campaign there and it's home to both former President Donald Trump and potential candidate Florida Gov.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Democrats say Florida is now a very hard state for President Joe Biden to win in 2024, so his campaign may focus more on other battlegrounds.
Key Points:
- Democratic insiders said Florida has become too expensive and too Republican-leaning to be Biden’s main path to victory.
- Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump have helped make Florida even more difficult for Democrats, while Republican voter registration has grown.
- Some Democrats still want the party to compete in Florida to force Republicans to spend money there and protect down-ballot races.
- Florida Democrats say the party needs rebuilding, but some believe the state could become competitive again if Democrats message better on issues like abortion and schools.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Biden’s weak Florida prospects could push both parties to spend less on local outreach there and more on other swing states, which may leave Florida voters with fewer campaign efforts and less attention to state issues.
Positive Impact
A tighter race in other battleground states could focus national spending and attention on the places most likely to decide the election.
